Train Cab Ride NL / Extreme Detour Empty Train / Eindhoven - Gouda - Amsterdam / ICNG / Oct 2025

Hi everyone! Today we get extremely detoured with empty stock. This because of construction works at Vught. We get to drive an ICNG-B(russels) and a normal ICNG used only for Dutch services. No passengers on board. The train needs to be driven to the Watergraafsmeer for maintenance.
