Plans to Prevent Rail Sabotage Stalled for a Year: 'It Is Time to Take Action'
Thousands of travelers were disrupted by rail sabotage incidents at 35 locations, prompting experts to criticize the lack of implementation of a year-old security report. Roy Hofkamp and Bart Schuurman emphasize that while complete protection is impossible due to the 7,000-kilometer network size, significant investments in preventive measures and intelligence services are urgently needed. ProRail cites a missing 600 million euro budget as the primary obstacle, but researchers argue that shifting focus from efficiency to resilience is essential given the increased external threats.
