8457 as 'international train' 455 London Express (Rotterdam Centraal - Hoek van Holland Haven). Train 455 is formed at Rotterdam Centraal by decoupling the rear part of train 2155, thus providing a direct service between Amsterdam Centraal / Schiphol and Hoek van Holland, where passengers can change to the 1600 hrs Stena Line HSS service to Harwich.
The special boat train service Amsterdam - Hoek van Holland vv was discontinued with the 2007 timetable (starting on 10th December 2006), while the Stena Line HSS service was replaced by a conventional ferry service on 8th January 2007.
