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:
“Civil servants and priests, soldiers and ballet-dancers, schoolmasters and police constables, Greek museums and Gothic steeples, civil list and services list—the common seed within which all these fabulous beings slumber in embryo is taxation.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Those services which the community will most readily pay for, it is most disagreeable to render.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
