All yours BB. Utrecht has direct international rail services with German destinations, Belgian, French and Luxembourg and also direct with Switzerland. the clue about the airport referred to Schiphol Airport Amsterdam (which is in fact closer to Utrecht). Over to you. The city was the biggest centre in the Netherlands prior to Amsterdam taking over that role in the later middle ages.

A Scottish international player created an innovation for his club's stadium - one that quickly spread to stadia around the world.
What was it and which club was first to benefit from it?
