Shooting Traxx in a barrel!
Just a Saturday / Sunday trip to throw a few lines in my very empty NS book, looking at the 17 turns and then doing the newly expanded 186 diagrams on IC turns to the south. Good weather and NS actually managing to run something like the advertised timetable helped, sadly no SNCB 28s as the Benelux was caped all weekend. I've expanded the captions from those shown on my website to give more of an overview of hauled trains in the Netherlands that currently operate - weekend work is certainly increased on recent years. Being NS, this may not last as they like to change the 1700 turns in particular on a regular basis!
1765 at Amsterdam with the 1100 Berlin. This two-hourly axis is the last turns for standard 1700s not now fitted with push-pull equipment, they work as far as Bad Bentheim where a DB loco takes over.
1759 rolls into Apeldoorn with the ECS to form the 1220 to Alamo. All of these turns are formed of DDAR 1700 sets on weekends currently, which is handy. The DDAR sets have autocouplers and can work in multi with DDZ EMUs which are near identical just with power cars not locos. Bo-Bo-Bo nonsense power cars at that.
n the same circuit, 1734 shunts out of Apeldoorn after working in from Alamo.
Sunday now, and 186142 pushes the 0914 Breda - Amsterdam away from Rotterdam. All of the 186s now work top and tail, fresh out the box 186045 was leading, and there are 4tph on the HSL to Rotterdam, two of which continue to Breda. A 2.40euro supplement is required between Schipol and Rotterdam, as opposed to using trains via the traditional route through Den Haag.
Grey 186239 on the 0937 Amsterdam-Breda has terminated alongside 186036 which is on the rear of the 1053 to Den Haag. These Den Haag services are due to be extended through to Eindhoven soon which will need even more 186s to be in use. 186239 is one of around a dozen non-NS liveried 186s (as opposed to NS's 186001-048 & 111-122) which may or may not be handed back at some stage.
186042 arrives at Rotterdam with the 1214 Breda - Amsterdam
Sunday afternoon trip to the seaside, 1731 at Enkhuizen after working the 1536 from Amsterdam. These DDM sets have recently(ish) been re-instated with the 17s again in theory fixed formation to the relevant set. The stock is in good condition after years in store, although the leatherette bench seats are a bit of a throwback this far west!
