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:
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“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)
“We now in the United States have more security guards for the rich than we have police services for the poor districts. If you’re looking for personal security, far better to move to the suburbs than to pay taxes in New York.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
