Not really Frank, those ended a long time ago and the relationship between the UK and The Netherlands is strong and healthy.
The High Speed Rail System was designed to go from Amsterdam to Paris faster then going by plane or car.
At this moment, you take a train from Amsterdam and Exit at Paris- Gare du Nord 3 hours later. The train flies over the tracks with a speed of about 200 MPH
There are 6 stops in total, the train is very luxurious and very quiet too, similar to the French TGV. (Train au Grande Vitesse)
There are plans to add Breda as a stop for the route. Would be great
Here is a video taken from the HSL train that departs from Rotterdam, to the tracks and then further.
