On the rails along the Zoetermeer Oost station, eight times in the past three months have been caused by smokers who "pull" their cigarette butts. According to ProRail, this means that the rail traffic must be stopped until the fire is extinguished.
For this reason, railroad hunters still go to Zoetermeer station this week to inform smokers that they have their cigarettes. If they have been smoked, do not throw in the track. There are wooden sleepers, as well as vegetation along the road. Both can catch fire during drought.
Measures
ProRail takes measures to limit fires. For example, wooden sleepers from Zoetermeer-Oost will be replaced in the coming years by concrete sleepers. In addition, there will be three "smoking tiles" on the platform this week. These are hollow tiles with a grid over them, where smokers can throw their butt after smoking.
