Great news.
They should honestly just skip stopping at Hilversum and Deventer, too.
From Hilversum there are enough other trains to Amersfoort and Amsterdam. And from Deventer it is easy enough to go to Apeldoorn or Hengelo.
And they are getting trains that can go 230 km/h, so Amsterdam to Berlin in five hours could be feasible.
And after that a properly fast Amsterdam - Hanover - Berlin high speed rail in 3 hours... That would be amazing.
The Deventer stop is not there primarily for locals in Deventer. It's there to service the entire eastern half of the Netherlands. Scrapping it would mean those in e.g. Groningen would first have to travel for 3h to Amsterdam.
Fair enough, I looked it up and you are right.
Deventer is the eastern hub (I thought it was Apeldoorn), so keeping Deventer and scrapping Apeldoorn and Hengelo would be more logical.
Scrapping Hengelo would be a pretty bad idea too.
