NS takes over train information services
Train information will again be supplied by Dutch railway company NS from November 1, rather than track operator ProRail, Nos television reports.
The Dutch competition authority has given the green light for the transfer of responsibility between the two state-owned operations, Nos says.
The competition body agreed the change on the condition NS does not increase the costs or change the conditions for other rail operators Connexxion, Veolia and Arriva which provide some regional and local services.
The switch has been made because of train users’ complaints about the lack of information during bad weather over several years.
