Amsterdam to Berlin train will be 30 minutes faster by December 2023

NL Times  

A series of adjustments and investments will cut 30 minutes off the Intercity train route between Amsterdam and Berlin by December 2023. The plan is now back on track, ProRail said, but several improvements will be needed over the next 15 months to make the time-saving plan a reality for the Intercity Berlin. To prepare for the faster connection, German rail operator Deutsche Bahn ordered new locomotives and carriages that can operate in both the Netherlands and Germany, where the railroads use different voltages. In addition to ProRail, NS, and Deutsche Bahn, the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, German government officials, and infrastructure partners cooperated to make the faster train connection possible.
