Van Nes, R. Van Arem, B. Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Transport & Planning Date 2015-05-28 Abstract International train services generally have lower qualities and are less stable in time then domestic train services. The paper shows that this is also valid for cross-border services within the Benelux compared to domestic services in the Netherlands. The cross-border services have significantly lower qualities with respect to speed, detours, frequency, and transfers. A good integration of timetables for the networks of neighbouring countries and addition of direct international train services on longer distances might enhance the quality for cross-border travelling. The development of standards for required quality might encourage operators to improve their services, while authorities could use them for defining regulations in concessions.
