Travelers reported on social media that the wrecked train had no lights, toilets didn’t work, doors wouldn’t open, and there was nothing to eat or drink.

After all passengers had boarded the new train, they still had to wait for permission to run. An NS spokesperson said, “We did our best to get everyone home, but there were many setbacks. Those who were unable to get home were urged to contact NS customer service.

A spokeswoman said the train had about 1,000 passengers, two conductors and a driver. A spokeswoman said trains between The Hague and Utrecht are always full.
