One result of this has been the tentative improvement that we have seen in overall customer satisfaction, punctuality and our reputation. Cleanliness and overcrowding in the trains scored below par. NS has extended its impact analysis for 2014 from the environment only to include socio- economic impacts as well. This shows how important our door-to-door strategy is. Our primary objectives Looking ahead The top priorities for NS are passengers, passengers and pas- 2014 2014 2013 sengers.

It is our ambition to take the main objectives systematically up to the next level by 2017. Our finances The profit after tax for 2014 was €180 million (2013: a loss of €43 million, partly due to the loss of the V250 trains). The result for 2014 was partly due to exceptional effects, such as the release of provisions that had previously been set aside. The underlying operating result, after correcting for the ex- ceptional items, was insufficient at just €84 million (2013: €78 million). The result will come under additional pressure in 2015 because of the increased franchise costs (including those for being allowed to use the tracks) and considerable investments (in new trains, accessibility, IT and e.g. main- tenance workshops). The revenue came to €4,144 million (2013: €3,873 million).

  • Introduction Way Does the Typology of the Dutch Train Station Need To
    Msc. 4 New Directions In The Public Interior The Architecture of the Interior REFLECTION Introduction In recent years, train stations in the Netherlands have become more public because of the accumulation of more and more retail and catering functions, making the stations destinations all by themselves.. At the same time stations are also becoming more private because of the introduction of the OV-chipcard, which requires travelers to check in and out with their card at OV-chipcard gates. Not only does this development often block the access to the new functions, in many cities it also creates a barrier for people who just want to use the station to get from one side of the tracks to the other. These developments where the main focus of my research studies and have led to my research question: In what way does the typology of the Dutch train station need to change in order to remain a connecting element in the city while at the same time accommodating more functions? Location The location for my graduation project is the train- and metro station Amsterdam Zuid, which lies at the heart of the financial district known as the Zuidas. The plan of the municipality of Amsterdam for Amsterdam Zuid is to reconnect the inner A10 part of the city to the outer part by placing the train- and metro lines along with the highway in a 1 kilometer long tunnel called the Zuidasdok. However, due to financial reasons the complete dok cannot be built altogether so the municipality has decided to split the project up into two fases.

    Train - tram - bus - car - parking Route and parking I By train Good public transport connections exist between the VU University Medical Center and the various train stations in and around Amsterdam. Please refer to the ‘By tram’ and ‘By bus’ sections for further information. The closest railway station is Amsterdam Zuid station. From there, you can walk to the hospital in about twenty minutes or continue your journey by public transport. For current travel information, go to www.ns.nl and www.gvb.nl. From Noord-Holland: quick transfer at Sloterdijk. In the Zaanstreek area, trains depart for Amsterdam every fifteen minutes. When travelling from anywhere in the province of Noord-Holland (Alkmaar, Hoorn, the Zaanstreek area, Haarlem), an excellent transfer to express tram/metro line 50 is available at Amsterdam Sloterdijk train station. The stop on this line closest to the hospital is Amstelveenseweg. From Leiden/The Hague: six trains an hour. A direct slow train service to Amsterdam Zuid is available twice an hour (trains with destination Lelystad). Four more services an hour require a transfer at Schiphol Airport station. Get off at Amsterdam Zuid train station. So when travelling from The Hague, a total of six trains an hour will bring you to Amsterdam Zuid in about fifty minutes. From Amersfoort and the north-eastern part of the Netherlands: four trains an hour (Leeuwarden, Groningen, Enschede, Zwolle). Excellent intercity train services connect Amersfoort and the north-east of the country to Amsterdam: for example, from Amersfoort, the train takes less than thirty minutes to reach Amsterdam Zuid/WTC.
