New regional railway stations : An investigation of Sassenheim, Westervoort and Maarheeze

Abstract

This thesis is about railway stations. More specifically: newly constructed regional railway stations. In the Netherlands many such new stations are planned. However, progress on realisation tends to be slow. Planned realisation dates are commonly missed by a few years. Reports on delays in some cases seem on-going. This thesis purports to investigate in detail the aspects which cause these delays. As such this thesis presents a learning device with which recommendations can be presented in order improve the pace of the realisation of new railway stations. That is what this thesis is about.
