Re: RIP 9000s: Virtual Transfers and Railtour
Michiel, why not paint the SG4 in RandstadRail livery and use it for the new Simvliet Lightrail line (Line D).
Sjored, if Michiel does not wish to accept SG4 for the Simvliet route, you could use them for the Rijndam Metro network.

Because Simvliet has more then enough rolling stock for all 4 lines already with the 5300, 5400, 5500 and 5600 stock. The 5700 stock isn't even used at the moment (it's kept in reserve until line D needs to be extended to 3-car trains).

9000s would suit the Railway sprinter services (Centraal - Haven and Centraal - Delfsblaak) hence their transfer.

They'll have to be stored at Simvliet Haven until further notice.

They still have a possible life ahead of them.
I mean, if nobody suggests something decent, Michiel can throw them into the river!

But I thought that the water was already very dirty!

Yeah but the metal can be recycled. Metal doesn't grow on trees, my guy.
