Would anyone happen to know the route taken by Thalys between Schipol and Centraal?

Thanks!

I can't tell you specifically, but it goes out of underneath the airport, between the A4 road, then rises up and turns northwards, then runs beside the metro, through Amsterdam Leylaan, then up through Sloterdijk, turns eastwards and joins the other lines, going southeast into Centraal.

Hopefully this is enough detail :P

not quite sure what your real Question is, but there is NO separate line for TLS-its the normal line for all trains, incl. InterCity, ICD=IC-Direct (former FYRA) and SPRinter (=all stops), total 6 trains/hr, with TLS the 7th, plus 2/hr more SPR untill Sloterdijk-turning north to Zaandam. Double track throughout- 4 tracks in tunnel from S'hol-the other 2 go to AMSterdam-Zuid (south and on). Longtime works to expand to 6 tracks there.
IF there are weekendworks-pretty common due to those works, TLS is rerouted- sometimes from S'hol via South, sometimes all the way from Rotterdam via the (now old) ''new'' line Woerden-Breukelen.

Just what I was looking for, thanks!

Hopefully, this video (from 1h 34m in) will show you! (Actual platform on arrival at Amsterdam may be different.)
