Amersfoort – The number of trains driving through the province with hazardous substances was many times higher than permitted last year. The municipality of Amersfoort, after questions from the Christian Union, published the figures for 2022. Amersfoort and Utrecht, among others, have long been asking for measures to reduce the number of trains. But recent figures from the ministry show that the number of freight wagons with hazardous substances traveling on the Utrecht railway line has not decreased. And that won’t happen in the coming years.
