Heikel punt blijft de beveiligingssoftware...
i.e. translating and summarising, they're looking at a solution to get it running within 3 months, by running less trains and at a lower speed. The sticking point is the safety software, with problems at level crossings.

According to the latest progress update document the software is now approved, if there are no further setbacks the first fare-paying passengers should be able to use the line somewhere in September 2019.
