Do you know.....

[Holland on Rail]

Do you know?

What is this? Its a simple game. I ask some questions containing the railways in Holland, Germany, or any other country in europe.

The first person with 10 good answers will receive the NS umbrella And I heared it rains often in the UK, so this is a welcome tool I guess:toothy7:


First question:

On wich station in european country were 3 derailments in less then 2 months time, and what coused the third derailment.

If you know the answere of the station you receive 1 point. If you know the answere about what coused the third derailment you get 2 points. So.. in total you are able to get 3 points out of this question.

Good luck.

IIRC, the derailment's were at Amsterdam. The third derailment was caused by a faulty weld from the second derailment. (I think)

Oh, so the answer isn't Hatfield then???

Well done mr. potter. Did You used a potion to get on the right answer?

Indeed it was Amsterdam Central. But the third derailment wasn't coused by something that had to do with the second.

So.... you have 1 point.


Next question:

Wich TOC will operate on the Dutch High speed line... and when will operations start?

Thalys and ICE
2007

The Dutch HSL-Zuid line is being built to connect the Netherlands with Belgium and France. It will carry both Thalys and domestic trains.

Thalys will be integrated to the services of that new TOC..... wich one?

ICE is not a TOC but a combined international service operated by DB fernverkerh and NS international.

The new company for the HSL-South is for 90% owned by NS and 10% by KLM.
