  1. Rail Technology Magazine is becoming quite notorious for its inappropriate photos above its articles. A photo of a Netherlands national railways’ train at Amsterdam really doesn’t relate to the article about Govia Thameslink Railway increasing the number of trains it operates. As a rail industry magazine it really ought to better. it’s as though they don’t care

  2. Indeed, add to that that the pictured service (Amsterdam-Rotterdam IC Direct) is quarter-hourly, which is nowhere near 1000/week, and that trains per week (per direction?) is an unusual unit for train frequency.

    Just to get an idea, if you assume 7 days/week, 12 hours/day, 1000 trains per week translates to roughly 12 trains per hour.
