Wikimedia commons Late last month it was announced that the NS formally terminated the purchase agreement with AnsaldoBreda for seven Fyra's. An NS representative did not want to disclose the fate of the nine high-speed trains that were built by the Italian company and were already transferred to NS. The brand new V250 trains were removed from the timetable in January, due to numerous defects and barely a month after the first train ran over the super fast track towards Belgium. In June the NS decided to permanently pull the plug on the Fyra. The Amsterdam-Breda route still has trains named Fyra, but those are TRAXX locomotives with intercity carriages.
