Belgium's high-speed services are expected to receive a further boost in 2010 with the delayed delivery of the remaining 17 AnsaldoBreda V250 emus for the Brussels - Amsterdam Fyra high-speed service. The trains can run on both Belgian 25kV ac and 3kV dc, and Dutch 1.5kV dc, as well as under ERTMS Level 2 and both countries' train control systems.
