Instead, I increase the frequency by adding more trains to the route. This is also a personal preference; I would prefer to see more trains an hour on my daily route, rather then longer but less frequent trains.

Service on line M6 was halted immediately , and the Rijndam Infra maintenance train was dispatched to investigate. The crew found the anomaly just as the M6 drivers reported it.

As the cause for this problem could not be determined, it was decided to remove the defective track, and replace it. New track sections are being delivered;

And then, the 3rd rail;

Finally; a few tests, to see if the replacement has solved the problem, and to de-rust the new tracks (needed for reliable track detection and ATB functionality).

It takes some work to maintain a railway.....
