An Intercity train behind a class E186 arrives at Amsterdam Central |
| Description: |
These types of trains run with modern engines at both ends bracketing older intercity coaches. They operate the "Benelux" services to Luxembourg and Brussels and "Intercity Direct" services which provide faster journeys between Amsterdam Central, Schiphol Airport, Rotterdam Central and Breda. These trains were supposed to have been replaced with high-speed EMU's from AnsaldoBreda in the early 2010s, but the high speed trains were so problem plagued that they were withdrawn within a year of regular service. |
