A train every 10 minutes proves popular on Amsterdam-Eindhoven route
Travelers have given the thumbs up to the so-called ‘ten minute trains’ on the Amsterdam-Utrecht-Eindhoven service, railway company NS said on Wednesday.
The NS and track operator ProRail are carrying out tests to see if a train every ten minutes will relieve the pressure on the popular route. Currently there is a train every 15 minutes.
After seven of the fourteen test days a poll among travelers shows nine in 10 are happy with the new times – and more seats – while the rest still have to get used to the new schedule.
The test period comes ahead of a permanent schedule change in December when there will be a train between Amsterdam and Eindhoven every ten minutes between 7am and 7pm.
