Rail services suspended as barge gets stuck under a railway bridge in Veurne
Published:
On Thursday afternoon the rail infrastructure management company Infabel reported that the railway line between Veurne and De Panne was closed due to an incident with a barge at the bridge over the canal. It is not yet clear how long rail services will remain suspended. A replacement bus service is operating between Veurne and De Panne.
It is not the first time that a boat has got stuck under the bridge. Last September a houseboat got stuck there too.
