According to Dutch Railways (NS), the new timetable marks the biggest change in years. By introducing 1,600 additional trains per week, NS aims to make travelling by train faster, more convenient and more flexible – including in the evenings and at weekends.
Train to Brussels
The new timetable marks an initial step towards more international railway traffic via Amsterdam Zuid station. Once every hour, you will be able to travel to Brussels by intercity. When the regeneration of the station has been completed, there will be more international trains departing from Amsterdam Zuid.
Breda, Rotterdam, Amsterdam Zuid
Another change at Amsterdam Zuid station involves the Intercity Direct. Because of the renovation works at Amsterdam Central Station, the Intercity Direct between Breda, Rotterdam and Schiphol Airport will now continue to Amsterdam Zuid, instead of Amsterdam Central Station. The Intercity Direct will then continue to Almere and Lelystad, or via Hilversum to Amersfoort.
