The BRAND NEW EuroCity Direct from Brussels to Amsterdam is a Game Changer! Sort of...

At the December 2024 timetable change, NS and SNCB finally introduced the fast EuroCity Direct service between Amsterdam and Brussels that was meant to be provided under the Fyra project 12 years ago which finally brings a much needed end to the Eurostar monopoly between the two cities. Whilst this service has many positives, it certainly isn't perfect, so join me as we check out this brand new high speed international service!
