New piano at Eindhoven station
Yesterday BOL installed the 17th station piano at Eindhoven station. This was festively received by initiator David Hordijk and Frank Smits of the NS.
After much networking and lobbying, the piano is now 'finally' in the hall. "I took the plunge and entered the NS." The NS was enthusiastic, but first conducted a survey among the station's entrepreneurs and employees. They also appeared to be enthusiastic. "The experience increases with a piano," says Frank Smits, manager of Eindhoven station.
There are a total of seventeen station pianos in the Netherlands. Eindhoven is therefore the second of Brabant, Breda was the first. That piano was moved to the center side of the station last Thursday. The goal is to create more liveliness on that side.
The NS knows from research that a piano at the station contributes to the passenger experience, a piano provides connection and a piano makes waiting more pleasant. Initiator David Hordijk fully agrees with this. "It provides a moment to pause for a moment. I often played in Utrecht and Nijmegen. It is fun to play and meet other people that way. Now I will of course play a lot in Eindhoven. I like to miss a train ahead."
