No hate but are you Dutch? I see some things those are very confusing.... Den Haag Amsterdam route is nice but i did not understand the point of the high speed trains.... They did not use this route and the maximum line speed outside the HSL is 140km/h restricted by ATB saftey system.....
HSL is Hogesnelheidslijn translated into English High Speed Line The ICNG is the fastest intercity of netherland It can reach 200 km/u And yes i am dutch
Yes, I know what HSL means, but does that have anything to do with the line The Hague Amsterdam railway line? The ICNG doesn’t run on this route, and the HSL has no connection whatsoever with The Hague Haarlem Amsterdam railway line, right? It’s more confusing than it is clarifying.
Google tells that, I've looked into it all. Perhaps this needs to be adjusted. Do you notice any other important points that need to be adjusted? So that this suggestion becomes accurate.
No its fine if you can change that! You have changed already and add helpfull things! Oh yeah on the route Den Haag Amsterdam runs VIRMm as Intercity and the Sprinter runs with SLT and SNG. Weekdays Den Haag Haarlem in the Weekend only Leiden Haarlem. All other IC services to Venlo via Leiden the same with VIRMm ICMm is no guest anymore on this route and from and to Leiden. The earlier services Den Haag Groningen/Leeuwarden runs from and to Schiphol in 2025. For sprinter services to Lelystad Centrum you will see SLT and SNG.
Always had a soft spot for the VIRM trains, and Amsterdam would make a very cool city to visit in TSW
Someday lol. I've got my passport, just a matter of time and money. I would really like to do multi-day train journey... start off in London, Eurostar to Amsterdam, then on to Berlin, then shoot down to Switzerland, and possibly visit a friend in Italy. A boy can dream... lol
aight, me too. I live in Haarlem but work somewhere in Tilburg 5 days a week from half past eight in the morning until half past five during the day, so I transfer in The Hague, so I have to get out of bed as early as possible, which means I have little time for that kind of thing.
give me VIRM and maybe new gen IC EMUs and maybe some ATB+ and I will be happy... but any ATB will do, I like the system
ATB+ is no longer up-to-date, it is being replaced by ERTMS/ETCS, so ATB-NG (New Generation) is also used And can you post a picture of the new gen IC EMUs that you prefer?
For those who don't know yet, there's a TSW player survey running on December 14, 2025, for a chance to win DLC. You can find the link below. https://bit.ly/TSWPlayerSurvey2025 But Of course i vote for the netherlands! like if you are also going to vote for the Netherlands in the survey

No they are definitely not the same... See here the difference: Coradia Polyvalent Coradia Stream Those trains have similar parts but when you look closely they are completely different.
Yeah thats a general problem with modern trains. When you compare ICMm with the ICNG i will choose for the ICMm no doubt!

The Bulb Region: Especially in spring (April/May), you'll have a beautiful view of the blooming tulip fields between Leiden and Haarlem. Haarlem: Haarlem's station is one of the most beautiful in the Netherlands, with unique wooden buildings and Art Nouveau details. 4. Quick Figures for 2026 Distance: The route is approximately 57 to 63 kilometers long, depending on the exact route. Travel Time: The average journey takes about 50 to 56 minutes. Frequency: Nearly 100 trains run daily between these two cities, with departures every 10 to 15 minutes during peak hours. 5.
