NS Hispeed - Services

Services

As of December 2007 NS Hispeed trains operated over a number of routes both within the Netherlands and across the borders into Germany and Belgium (and on to France). These were:

  • High speed train Thalys from Amsterdam via Schiphol, Rotterdam, Antwerp and Brussels to Paris.
  • High speed train Fyra from Amsterdam via Schiphol Airport to Rotterdam. The Fyra service is operated by High Speed Alliance, a cooperative of NS (90%) and airline KLM (10%).
  • ICE from Amsterdam via Utrecht and Arnhem to Frankfurt, continuing once a day to Basel.
  • InterCity from Amsterdam via Schiphol, The Hague, Roosendaal and Antwerp to Brussels.
  • InterCity from Schiphol via Amersfoort, Deventer, Hengelo, Bad Bentheim, Osnabrück and Hannover to Berlin, continuing once a day to Szczecin.

Other cross-border services (from Enschede, Maastricht, Nieuweschans, Venlo, Heerlen and Roosendaal) are not part of NS Hispeed, nor is the EuroNight from Amsterdam to Copenhagen / Prague / Warsaw / Minsk / Moscow or the CityNightLine.

Famous quotes containing the word services:

    “I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
    —Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)

    “Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
    —Jeanne Elium (20th century)
