The ''Benjamin Britten'' was an international train service linking Amsterdam with London. The train was named after the English composer, conductor and pianist Benjamin Britten. ==History== The ''Benjamin Britten'' was one of the initial services of the 1987 EuroCity network.〔Spoorwegen 88 p. 8〕 It was operated as a boat train, the first part Amsterdam – Hook of Holland by train, the second Hook of Holland – Harwich by boat and the final part, Harwich – London, by train. The eastbound EC ''Benjamin Britten'' and the westbound EC ''Admiraal de Ruijter'' had timed connections with the day boats. The return services had timed connections with the night boats. Each of these trains lost its EuroCity label after one year of service because it did not meet the EuroCity criteria for service quality; sometimes other rolling stock was used and the on-board catering was minimal from the start. However, both trains also remained in the timetable, as InterCity services. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Benjamin Britten (train)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
