2004, dwb remarked:
As do the Dutch. Double deck trains would reduce the necessity for
extending platforms at 600 quid per sq metre.

Are these for metro style trains though?

The Dutch double-deck trains run very much on suburban commuter lines
like the Paris RER or Crosslink.

And some major services like Amsterdam CS-Vlissengen.

There are in fact 2 types of NS double deck stock:
1. Type DD-AR. This is used on suburban commuter lines.
2. Type DD-IRM. This is used on longer distance services and is also
more comfortable (better seats, air conditioning, etc.)
