RijnGouweLijn
Proposed rail project in the Netherlands / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The RijnGouweLijn (English: The Rhine-Gouwe Line), or RGL, was a proposed light rail project in South Holland, Netherlands, that used some new tracks and some existing tracks from the Gouda–Alphen aan den Rijn railway and the Woerden–Leiden railway. However, the new section might have used bus rapid transit (BRT) instead.
