Ryanair on rails is about to launch!
GoVolta, a Dutch railway company promising low fares, is expected to launch in September 2025, with the first trains on the busy Amsterdam-Berlin route.
Contrary to popular belief, train travel in Europe can be significantly more expensive and inconvenient than flying, with the price of a train journey from Amsterdam to Berlin averaging $66.24 if booked in advance and usually with one or two changes.
In this sense, GoVolta will undoubtedly be a game changer as no changes are required and tickets start rolling out from just $10.43 dollarsaccording to the low-cost airlines model: in other words, expect minimal comfort and all the extras come at an additional cost.
The trains are expected to depart Amsterdam (Central Station) at 8:34 am and arrive in Berlin at 4:59 pm, a total of 7:33 am; Departures towards Amsterdam from Berlin (Brandenburg Airport) are scheduled at 12:56 PM, reaching Amsterdam at 8:56 PM
There are scheduled stops at:

- Hannover, Germany
In addition to the Amsterdam-Berlin trains, GoVolta is also expected to launch flights from Amsterdam to Basel, in Switzerland, and from Amsterdam to Copenhagen, in Denmark, although these will appear at a later date.
It is worth remembering that GoVolta does not operate high-speed ridesand the comfort during travel is minimal (basically, other than just a seat and luggage space), hence the cheaper prices, but it is cdefinitely worth it if you’re not in a hurry (and on a budget).
That said, the 800-seat trains will have first-class carriages, as well as a dining car, so you can always upgrade your experience.
Tickets go on sale in January, so you better keep an eye out official websiteas there are only a hundred $10 tickets per service.
