Autumn weather causes travel chaos

Leaves on the lines are causing train delays of up to half an hour on Monday, rail infrastructure company ProRail said.


Heavy rain and falling leaves are also creating problems on the roads where morning traffic jams reached a total of 428 kilometres in length.
In Amsterdam police had to close the northbound lane of the Zeeburger tunnel following an accident between two lorries which left several gallons of diesel oil on the road. By 8.15 am there was a traffic jam of 21 kilometres between Laren and Amsterdam, reports the Volkskrant.
It is not yet known how long the tunnel will be closed.
