In January 2015, during the live evening news, an armed man got into the building of the NOS (one of the main Dutch news stations) and demanded time on live television (I was watching it too at that moment).
A clever security guard led him to a studio which was not in use at that moment, but it was still a hostage situation. When the police entered the room later, he surrendered and nobody was harmed.

Later that evening, I made this repaint as homage to the way the situation was dealt with. ;)

The arrest of the hostage taker was put on youtube; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-6stumN5x8

Due to a derailment at Oostpark all trains from line C are terminating at Tusselveden. Bus replacing is avaiable between Stadionweg and Lelywaard. The circulation on line C must be normalized tomorrow by morning.

Meanwhile, at Rijndam, the 02:15 PM train on Sunday, january 28th, will be realized with original SG2 between Noordvliet and Panbos, due to a museum excursion of train enthusiasts from Portugal (APAC - Associação Portuguesa dos Amigos dos Caminhos de Ferro) and Spain (Museo Vasco del Ferrocarril), starting at Transpormuseum. The return must be done with the same rolling stock, at 06h30 PM, from Panbos.
Greetings from Lisbon, the capital city of Portugal.

As the head of the Rijndam Electrical Transport (RET :lol: ) company, I welcome the delegation from Portugal and Spain! :)
I will give special dispensation for the use of the original SG2 rolling stock on line M1 for this event, as this is needed to drive with switched off train protection system (which is needed to run an ATB-only equipped metro on a ZUB protected part of the network). For security reasons, a second fully qualified driver has to be present in the cab, the whole time the train protection system is switched off. ;)

Better luck next time... But I think you can't consider that you are the only member of the forum to play that role, althought it's fictional.
