I got off the train in Utrecht tonight and saw a train with seats that were covered with protective plastic. It took me 20 seconds to wake up, but this was a new type of train.
It is the new series 2400, based on existing German trains. Intended for the commuter traffic and the stop services. Looks very solid and neat. I managed to capture it on video while leaving Utrecht: it runs smoothly.
I'm looking forward to traveling in it!
