Thalys PBKA on a test run on the HSL-Zuid (High Speed Line in the Netherlands). This test was taken from 
Rotterdam to the Beglian Border. So far there have only been tests on this part of the line; tests on the nothern
half will follow (Rotterdam - Amsterdam). The maximum test speed is 330 km/h. However, this does not mean commercial
service is done at the same speed. Commercial transport is 300 nm p/h. See also

line with.
