And it's killed. Few minutes ago Dutch government pulled the plug on the V250. NS / HSA now has till 1 October to come up with good plans to save it from loosing the franchise. (yes I know, but it works a bit different here then in the UK). There is even a solid BAN on any movements of...

Well, in a few years time I can tell my future kids "Daddy worked on a V250". The National Railway Museum has stated they don't want a cab car of a V250 in the collection.

To be honest with you, I think you better look for a flight. It might even come cheaper, is a whole lot faster and has loads more comfort. Then get yourself a good plac to sleep in Amsterdam and you'll be far better of.

There are 2 Fyra V160 services per hour from Amsterdam to Breda and 8 Benelux services from Hague to Brussels (weekends to Antwerp). For 2014 new paths have been requested for re-introduction of the hourly Amsterdam-Brussels train.

Nope... In 3 days AnsaldoBreda will lose their "3 months of recovery" after which NS can pull the plug, not that they will as they will be signing the end of their concession which is kept on track by cap and collar at an astonishing €300.000 per day. Difficult to explain, but in the end this...

I'm planning a trip from Holland to the GCR Swithland steam Gala in April. Was thinking of using the tunnel as it comes cheaper then most ferrys.... unless you guys have any good places for cheap fares....

Depends... Dutch staff will most likely take you on board, Belgium or French staff won't. There is a Amsterdam tourist card (Available from Schiphol ticket window) if I recal correctly which allows for 24, 48 or 72 hour of unlimited public transport in Amsterdam including your rail transfer...

ERTMS "in cab" works as follows: When you enter a ERTMS section the train will "call in" to the system and will gain a "Movement authority" (to be called MA). For this the signalling system ERTMS has to know the trains length and mass. A MA is a data package containing the distance till the END...

It is expected the trains will be out of service for several months. If they will be re-introduced ever is highly uncertain as the Belgium state railways have announced to terminate the Fyra program in 3 months if not all problems are solved. So, hurry up with those IEP trains so e can take...

Don't do that... You will only have two to three hours to make your photo's. The rest of time is spend on transportation. A good thing is to go to Wassen (ten minutes by postal bus from Goschenen). You can stand on the station platforms (although the station is closed to traffic) or go a bit...

If you travel during weekends, it might pay of to search the internet for bargains. At Blokker, Albert Heijn, Kruidvat or HEMA they do sell day rover tickets for something like €17 from time to time.

Hi, I'm looking for the last announcement on board a WSMR train. I believe I heared it once when (i.i.r.c. Train Manager Ruth) announced the station in tears. It was heard breaking. Anyone knows where to find it?
