Slide to the train station?

It’s officially called a ‘transfer accelerator’ by Dutch railway maintenance company ProRail, but everyone else would say it’s a slide. An awesome slide. Installed next to a stairway at the newly renovated railway station Overvecht in the city of Utrecht, the slide offers travellers the opportunity to quickly reach the railway tracks when they’re in a hurry. But above all, the slide is a great instrument to make the city more playful...
I think the lady says "Wel, waarom niet?" (Well, why not?) before taking the plunge. The child says "SQUEEEEEEEEE!" (SQUEEEEEEEEE!)
Exit on the right in the direction of travel.
