A number of high
speed Fyra trains were commissioned for use by the Dutch and Belgian railways. A quality control inspector of Lloyd’s Register Europe sent the Dutch
railways, NS, a weekly report regarding many problematic issues with the trains. Both NS and AnsaldoBreda, the Italian
manufacturer, were informed that while the trains were properly designed, there
were many faulty aspects regarding their assembly. When the trains were sent to the Netherlands,
there were still hundreds of problems with them. At the time, the implementation of the project
had already been delayed for five years. The trains were taken out of service after only forty days in use, and
returned to the manufacturer, never to be used again in the Netherlands.
