Goodbye Thalys! Hogesnelheidstrein is 27 years old and has a new name Stimulate

As another ride with Thalys will make, it is now more important than the laat. Vanaf zondag gaat de name nam ruim a kwart eeuw van de treinen verdwijnen. The high-speed trains from Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris are also available as Eurostar.

No, it’s totally different from the 25 Thalys trains. Het bekende bordeauxrode with zilvergrijs blijft gewoon. The material covered in the blue and yellow color of Eurostar is valuable, according to Nicolas Petteau of Eurostar. On Saturday, September 30th, the first train arrived on board with the name Eurostar. “All trains come with the Eurostar logo. The operation is carried out in the same way that it can be used for a long time.”

The biggest change that can be noticed later today is the plaatsmade on the website Thalys.com and the Thalys app. Tickets must be purchased locally via Eurostar.com. “He comes with a guaranteed loyalty program.”

The name change is the direct result of the connection between Eurostar and Thalys, which will be announced in 2019. For the reizigers it is better than ze bij één aanbieder terechtkunnen, zo verklaarden de Fringe en Belgian spoorwegen, aandeelhouders in both vervoerders, destijds. At least there is a need to talk about the storage costs: it is always necessary to have a ticket system and marketing costs.

“Eurostar bekender”

Bijna went to the same shipping never door: vanwege of the corona pandemic kelderden de reizigersaantallen after 2020 and rake Eurostar in two weeks. Twee year later pakten de twee vervoerders hun plannen weer op, waarna de fusie previous year definitely rondkwam.

The name Thalys is now available and sold. “However, if Eurostar is Thalys the largest in Europe, Eurostar is in Europe,” said the Belgian NMBS two years ago.

The most irritating people have to take care of the telephone from the Thalys name. The name, the verder niets betekent, will halverwege de jaren negentig gemunt nadat de Franse, Belgian, Nederlandse en German spoorwegen in 1993 de handen ineensloegen. The purpose: connecting connections between Amsterdam, Brussels, Keulen and Paris.

Fringe named

Merkenbureau Globrands creates a wide range of options and important considerations. The name must be Frans klinken: the Franse SNCF was always grootaandeelhouder en trok de kar. The result is verder ‘dynamic, dynamic, flexible and vernieuwend’ and has a ‘reactive luxury’ external aspect.

The quick response time was with Thalys on the proppen. “The result, the Thalys merkconcept, is verrassend en eigenzinnig in vele opzichten en doneigt van lef,” says Globrands zichzelf online still with the vondst. Ruim tien jaar later considered Globrands also de naam Fyra, the flopped high street route tussen Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Brussels.

The first Thalys traveled from June 2, 1996 to Parijs Gare du Nord, Brussels and Amsterdam. There has been talk about the Belgian and Dutch high speeds on the French route. The rice is worth the price at 4:47 p.m.

In December 1997, there was a half of the journey when the 73 km long road network came to Brussels and the French border. The hsl-spoor tussen Antwerpen en Amsterdam was opened in December 2009. You can get there in 3 hours and 20 minutes from the Nederlandse hoofdstad to Paris. Vanuit Rotterdam is worth 2.5 uur. From Antwerp you can spend two hours in Paris, from Brussels it takes 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Disneyland Paris

The connection is extremely successful since it started in 1996. Thalys has afgelopen 27 years and 144 million reizigers vervoerd. Last year 6.5 million people cooked with one ticket and one record. The legal tree connection started in 2019 between Amsterdam and Disneyland Paris is now visible in the streets.

Other than that, he was ok. The Thalys was in 2015 world new toen a Moroccan jihadist het vuur opende in de met honderden passengers gevulde train. Heroically opted for three American friends, to the fullest extent of all three military, before a bloodbath. Ze overmeesterden de in Brussel ingestapte schutter and droegen de suspicions op het Noord-Franse station Arras over aan de politie. Only four dining halls were won.

The story was filmed three years later by none other than Clint Eastwood. Americans Spencer Stone, Anthony Sadler and Alek Skarlatos appeared in the Legioen van Eer van de Franse president Francois Hollande and were in the Witte House for Barack Obama.

It’s September 30th from Thalys – always on the Eurostar ticket. The Eurostar Group made an official moment on Wednesday October 18th. “We brought the new Eurostar to Paris from the office in Amsterdam Centraal,” said Petteau.
