Finally a fast train to Berlin

Thirty years after the fall of the Wall, the Germans finally come with a fast train from Amsterdam to Berlin.

The good news for travelers: The travel time between the two metropolises is half an hour shorter. The bad news: The new train will only run in four years, in 2023. And the fervent desire of NS chief executive Roger van Boxtel to shorten the travel time by about two hours is not going ahead yet.
