==Description:==
HSL is a abbreviation for High Speed Lane. This is a high speed rail network which will connect the Dutch railnetwork to the European high speed railnetwork. The network connects Amsterdam, Schiphol, Rotterdam, The Hague, Antwerp, Brussels and Paris. Trains with a maximum speed of 300 km/h will bring passengers from Amsterdam to Paris in 3 hours. With a connection to the European trainnetwork in place, this will also reduce travel time to other European cities.

The HSL aims to enable economical opportunities for the Netherlands and the 'Randstad' in particular. The Netherlands aims to improve their international competitive position. With the HSL in place, (international) companies will be attracted to settle new businesses in the Randstad.
