A Dutch private rail operator is introducing a low-cost service connecting two of Europe’s most popular capital cities, and Amsterdam.
Ticket prices will start from just €10 (£8) for the eight hour journey, providing travellers with a cheaper alternative to other rail companies plying the same route.
The service will be operated by GoVolta, which positions itself as the “easyJet of railways” by focusing on cost effective solutions.
GoVolta is the new rail brand of Flywise Travel and plans to launch its to Berlin route in September.

Tickets went on sale in January, with the company promising to offer at least 110 tickets priced under €10.
Rival companies currently charge anywhere between €37.90 (£30) and €257 (£212) for the same route.
Trains will depart from Amsterdam Central and Hauptbahnof early in the morning, arriving at their respective destinations in the late afternoon.
Trains departing from Amsterdam will travel to Deventer, before crossing the German border at Bad Bentheim and then continuing on to Berlin via Osnabrück and Hannover.
