MerwedeLingelijn is a railway line in the Netherlands betweenGeldermalsen andDordrecht, on the western part of theElst–Dordrecht railway. Train services were operated byArriva until 8 Dec 2018, whenQbuzz took over.
Since 5 September 2011 (original schedule was 2009) there is a quarter-hourly train service between Dordrecht and Gorinchem. A second track was added betweenDordrecht andDordrecht Stadspolders, and a passing track was built atBoven Hardinxveld, so that trains could pass each other. Between Gorinchem and Geldermalsen, there are two trains per hour.[1]
Qbuzz uses seven train sets, the electric version of theSpurt, the same trains Arriva uses since late 2006 in Groningen and Friesland. These trains have been deployed since 14 September 2008, and have replaced the oldMat '64 trains. In 2011, three additional Spurt-trains were delivered to allow for the increased frequency. In 2019, these trains were re-branded with theR-net color scheme and branding. New train sets have been commissioned to CAF, a Spanish constructor, for delivery in 2027.[2]
