You seem to know your stuff so I have a question, I know that they're currently working on the Friesenbrücke, the bridge between Weener (DE) and Leer (DE) which was destroyed a few years ago due to an accident. Arriva stated that they want to invest in a Groningen - Bremen line too, which hypothetically should make a Amsterdam - Bremen or even Amsterdam - Berlin line. Do you think that we'll see lines like that, perhaps even high speed, in the future?
I'm not an expert, but with the current implementation of EU policy I don't think we will see improvements in rail connections that aren't freight or the high speed core soon unfortunately.
