Summary
Something wild went down at Groningen station during King’s Night—folks pushed a 1,000-kilogram aerial platform off an escalator, causing massive damage. ProRail says the escalator’s out for at least 28 weeks, with a new drive system needing 26 weeks to manufacture and deliver. Passengers now rely on stairs or elevators to reach the tunnel, while the other escalator remains functional. The repair bill? A quarter-million euros. Police are investigating, but no cameras caught the culprits—making recovery unlikely. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
