    The Deventer stop is not there primarily for locals in Deventer. It’s there to service the entire eastern half of the Netherlands. Scrapping it would mean those in e.g. Groningen would first have to travel for 3h to Amsterdam.

      Fair enough, I looked it up and you are right.

      Deventer is the eastern hub (I thought it was Apeldoorn), so keeping Deventer and scrapping Apeldoorn and Hengelo would be more logical.

        Scrapping Hengelo would be a pretty bad idea too.
