Dutch railways NS have introduced a new series of TV commercials which,in my humble opinion,are rather smart.

The latest version is about a young boy ("jongetje"in Dutch) who is so fond of trains that he hides the car keys for his mother.
He is seen playing with a Marklin My World NS trainset.
The music by Bob Dylan matches perfectly.

These commercials are shown around the clock on our nation TV network.

Good job!





Another one from the same series,a young tired single father finds new luck in the morning rush hour train:

Rather quality advertising.

And there are more.

A young man on his way for a day in Rotterdam decides to deviate course to London:



And one from 2014,a not so young lady pays a surprise visit to her not so young friend in Vienna:



As can be noticed,the English language is broadly accepted as second language in The Netherlands.

The catching phrase at the end is: Waar ga jij heen vandaag?/Where are you going today?

Affirmative!

Interesting to note that as a semi government organisation,NS are presenting themselves as a commercial company,selling a product to the public.
