This time a complete ride from Hoek van Holland Strand to Nesselande. In addition to the station names, all level crossings and paths are also indicated for this time. Since May 26, 2024, the route between Capelsebrug and De Tochten/Binnenhof has been adjusted. All level crossing installations have been renewed. But not only that, the installations have also been fully incorporated into the track safety. Before May 26, we still had loops for influencing traffic lights and activating the level crossings. Now everything is controlled by the track safety. This also means that if a level crossing is not safe (barriers not closed), the metro is stopped by the track safety. A level crossing installation that malfunctions will also close automatically (after all, that is the safest). (Double) St. Andrew's crosses have also been placed at all level crossings. For other traffic (including priority vehicles), this means that they must wait to cross until the level crossing is clear again. The official explanation is worded differently, but this is what it boils down to. The speeds have also been adjusted. On certain parts of the route, the speed has been increased to 70 km/h (also at level crossings). There are some exceptions and in the evenings there are speed restrictions to prevent noise pollution. All adjustments result in a small gain in travel time, which is (still) difficult to achieve in practice. That will still require fine-tuning. Today a late service that starts at 16:58 on the Kralingse Zoom and ends at 24:53 on the 's-Gravenweg depot. From that this trip, the subsequent trip (to Steendijkpolder) is also coming up.
