Yes.
If you're travelling from Amsterdam to Schiphol, you're using Nederlandse Spoorwegen, the Dutch state-owned railway company. They also run ScotRail.
If you're travelling from Berlin to Schönefeld, you're travelling with VBB, which is Berlin's equivalent of SPT but with more balls.
If you're travelling from Budapest to Ferihegy, you'll take a state-run MÁV train. Then you'll realise they moved the airport a few years ago, and the airport train station is about two miles from the new terminal. |
