Priority decision High-Frequency Rail Transport Programme

There will be 6 intercity trains and 6 Sprinters (all station regional train) every hour in the busiest rail routes of the country and there will be additional rail capacity for freight transport. This is the crux of the decision made by the Dutch Government on 4 June 2010 regarding the development of the High-Frequency Rail Transport Programme (abbreviated to PHS in Dutch). This decision is based on the proposal by the Minister for Transport, Public Works and Water Management, Camiel Eurlings. As a result, rail travel will become more attractive to both passengers and freight forwarders. The decision represents a choice for sustainable mobility.
