Eurostar 4304 at Nispen, March 15, 2025

Due to mow on the hi speed route, the EuroCity and EuroCity Direct trains were detouring over the old route to Brussels this weekend. It was the last time a Benelux sandwich combination (with engines on both ends) could be seen on this route.
This is the EuroStar (former Thalys) service to Paris Nord.

First pix of 2025 - I tried to get shots of the new Rotterdam - Brussels EC, but one didn't run and the other arrived during a downpoor.
This is the EuroCity Direct with a classic sandwich combo to Brussels.

The Amsterdam - Brussels intercity trains now run as "EuroCity Direct" to Amsterdam South and Lelystad. This gives the capital of the Flevopolders a direct connection to Belgium. Until June 2025 the older "sandwich" equipment continues to run in this service. On Saturday December 28 I visited Lelystad to catch a glimpse of the former Benelux trains with old and new equipment. Within a few hours I saw sets with Belgian class 28 and NSR 186 Traxx engines and a new ICNG-B emu.
