It's a problem that occurs randomly at end stations, and can not be solved. It happens when a train stops and not seeing it has arrived at a stopmarker. It will then not open the doors, and not shut down. It will also not start moving again (for example, to reach a stopmarker) as it does not see a green signal ahead.

Re: Rijndam
Now that we have the Channel Tunnel that takes you to Essim and Simvliet, there is one thing you now need to worry about - the railway connection to Hageningen and the rest of the Dutch railway network.
Re: Rijndam
Actually the line that goes from Hageningen Centraal towards Hageningen Poort goes all the way to Essim as well.

Re: Rijndam
Okay, a trajectory of an eastbound Intercity service out of the tunnel.
Firstly, it will pass alongside Essim Tunnel Terminal before heading northwards to Essim for a few kilometres. North of this stretch, the line voltage changes from 25kV AC to 1500v DC and the security system from ETCS to ATB-EG as the line approaches Essim.
North of Essim, there is a triangular junction (like the one at Hondwijk aan Zee) where the line diverges. The line on the left takes you to Simvliet and Hageningen, while the line on the right takes you to the rest of the Dutch Railway Network (to places like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, etc). The train takes the left and passes another junction where the line from the rest of the Dutch Railway Network converges.
Soon the train passes through the Elk Valley Mainline and at some point there will be a junction where the lines to Hageningen and Simvliet diverges. It is probable that there will be a number intermediate stations along this route, but more likely to be served by local trains (probably by NS SG2 units).
Before the Hondwijk ann Zee to Essim Tunnel was built, all passenger and freight trains used to board a train ferry.
A freight service from the mainland to Wagenmakerstraat and Rijndam Airport Cargo back in the 1980s would have been absolutely bizarre!

Re: Rijndam
I'm only giving you a suggestion, but at the end of the day it's up to you
