Is the Thalys a train route?
No, it's a highspeed train. 
We voted for a high speed train bond here in California (even though I usually don't vote for bonds) but the state is too broke to do it right now.
There was to be a high speed train to connect the north east to the western part of the Netherlands. Was supposed to run not too far from where I live. But, despite all the promises to the people in the north east, lack of money did stop that project.
Does Netherlands have a bicamarel legislature?
What is bicaramel?
Mmmmm, two kinds of caramel... 
In a bicameral legislature, there are two parties represented, as in the U.S., where we have Republicans and Democrats.
Last time I voted, I could pick my choice between 19 parties.

I remember that one election there were even 23

So, not bicaramel, but a whole candy store.
