The Green Train
Description
Not much has changed on the railways in the past 171 years. Trains run on coal-generated energy. The train now running on money, the preservation of the time-honoured round trip, the invitation from "The Hague" to innovate in the future and people building that future speak for themselves. And who is finally turning the switch?
In the Netherlands, infrastructure and transport is being put out to tender. What role does the environment play in these tenders? And what contribution do the parties involved make individually? Stakeholders give insight into the Green Train of today and tomorrow in short presentations.
