Absence of Monitoring System Creates Safety Risks in Railway Infrastructure

Parliamentarians from the Socialist Party and the Christian Union asked for clarification about information that railway infrastructure company ProRail has hidden from Parliament that the system which prevents trains from driving through red signals is not fully safe. If the system is not working properly, train drivers can drive through red signals without seeing any warnings on their dashboards. ProRail replied that Parliament knew when the system was installed, that there was no monitoring of it and Parliament has accepted this. www.ad.nl/ad/nl/1012/Nederland/article/detail/3545338/2013/11/15/Kamer-wil-opheldering-van-ProRail-over-verzwijgen-veiligheidsrisico-spoor.dhtml
