Political choices in the Netherlands in 1998 1. Construction of a new HSL Zuid, as part of the TEN, along a separate line 2. Agreement with Belgium: first operation in 2005! 3. The objective to replace short distance air travel by high speed trains 4. The belief that PPP will bring added value: private enterprises are more able to deliver a train system of exceptional quality in time 4

The Infraprovider tender process Prequalification procedure in Spring 1999 resulted in 4 consortia: 1. Fastrail : Alstom-Strukton- Volker Wessels Stevin 2. Infraspeed : Royal BAM-Siemens-Fluor- Innisfree-HSBC 3. Zuidrailgroep : Bechtel-Amey-Øve Arup- DuraVermeer-Hyder 4. Speedrail : Balfour Beatty-Adtranz-Ballast Nedam a.o. (withdrew Dec. 1999) 12
Early strategic choices; Slabtrack & Rheda In 1999 several options were investigated by Infraspeed with respect to the choice of the track system: Ballasted system (note limited height available) Embedded systems a.o. Balfour Beatty Direct fastening systems a.o. Edilon Slabtrack Systems a.o. Bögl (prefab), Balfour Beatty LVT (Channel Tunnel system), Zublin and Rheda 2000 Conclusion: Rheda 2000 is the most reliable (RAMS), flexible (technically & construction) and bankable (LCC) track system! 13
