Dutch cabinet visits Meppel rail bottleneck and new line
Original: meppel
The Dutch cabinet is visiting Meppel, in the province of Drenthe, to see the notorious rail bottleneck and the planned new railway line first-hand. The visit puts a national spotlight on long-standing complaints about congestion around the Meppel junction, which causes delays for train passengers travelling to and from the north of the Netherlands. Local and regional attention is focused on whether the visit signals concrete government commitment to expanding rail capacity and funding the proposed new connection.
Why now: The government's visit raises hopes of action on a long-running rail bottleneck affecting the northern Netherlands.
