Rotterdam - Amsterdam, the Netherlands on board of the Intercity Direct along the high speed line

The new intercity trains in The Netherlands will first serve routes that will use the high speed line (also known as Intercity direct) and later regular routes in combination with the high speed line.
Rotterdam Centraal railway statuion, the biggest railway station in the 2nd city of the Netherlands and the third busiest railway station in The Netherlands plays an important role for high speed trains in the Netherlands and for me it's (almost) home, so apart from showing the trains, there's a station review of Rotterdam Centraal station in this video as well.

The name for these new trains is ICNG (Intercity New Generation), what isn't the most timeless name in my opinion. However these trains are diffrent in many ways from what we've seen before on Dutch trains and because they are already in service for a while, in this video, we can find out what's good and less good about these trains after being in service for some months now.
