For completeness, we also checked the latest Sprinter models. It turns out that "Sprinter" isn't a fast train in the Netherlands, but rather a regional train that makes all the stops, and makes short sprints in between if that makes sense. #CyclingOnRails #FietsInDeTrein

And I took the time in The Hague guided by @patrick to check the latest ICNG trains, that run the Intercity Direct services on several routes in NL and the Eurocity Direct service to Brussels. #CyclingOnRails #FietsInDeTrein #MonVéloDansLeTrain

Then the Sprinters, this time with generous mixed-use space and at-grade boarding. 💯

Next up the VIRM double-deckers. Dutch trains like funny shapes. 🙃 A bit hard to enter during rush hour, unless you go in the counter-flow direction!

Starting with the Nighjet Zurich-Amsterdam: this new comfort carriage has 3 bicycle spots, and there are also plenty of spots in the seating carriages provided by SBB 👍 Quite rare to see so many spots on a night train nowadays, most don't have any bicycle spots at all. #CyclingOnRails #FahrradMitnahme #FietsInDeTrein

Well that's unfortunate: European Sleeper is NOT planning any bicycle transport on its night trains in 2026... https://www.europeansleeper.eu/with-bike-by-night-train
