At least 125 injured as two trains collide in Amsterdam
Two trains have collided in Amsterdam, Dutch media reports. At least 125 people were injured in the accident, around 50 seriously.
A spokeswoman for Dutch Railways said the injuries mainly consist of broken bones and bruises. The trains collided between the Dutch capital's main station Amsterdam Central and Amsterdam Sloterdijk.[/textarea]
The location of this serious rail accident is on the line between Schipol Airport rail station and Amsterdam Central rail station, though neither of the trains involved was an airport train.
All rail movements in the area have ceased including the busy connection between the airport and the centre of the city.
I've used this stretch of track many times when arriving/departing Schipol.
