The train runs 16 times a day from Amsterdam Zuid, Schiphol Airport and Rotterdam Centraal.
Thereof, Eurocity Direct departs from Lelystad Centrum 12 times a day. Up to Amsterdam Zuid, the intermediate stations are Almere Buiten and Almere Centrum.
You do not need a supplement if you are travelling with an international ticket.
Eurocity Direct also operates as a domestic high-speed train on the Schiphol ⇔ Rotterdam Centraal HSL route.
Passengers with a domestic ticket pay a supplement if the route Schiphol Airport - Rotterdam is part of their journey.
