Trains in the Netherlands: how to use the Dutch train system

First off: using the train system in the Netherlands is very easy and 
comfortable.

When you first arrive in the Netherlands, most likely at Schiphol Airport in 
Amsterdam, you'll notice that it's very easy to get to other parts of the 
Netherlands fast using the public transportation system.

Of course, you could take a cab or rent a car to take you anywhere you want to 
go, but perhaps it's much nicer (and cheaper) to view life in the Netherlands 
up close by taking a train, bus or tram. After all, millions of Dutch people - 
young and old, rich and poor - use the public transportation system every day 
to get to work, school, or someplace else.

Holland has one of the most extensive and modern public transportations systems 
in the world, and you can get to almost any part of the country within a matter 
of hours traveling only by train and/or bus. In this article, we'll explore the 
train system in the Netherlands, and you'll learn how to use them to get to 
wherever you want to go.

Using the train system in the Netherlands

As you near the main plaza of Schiphol Airport, you'll notice there are 
escalators down to the underground train platforms. Large yellow-and-blue signs 
show the departure and arrival times of the trains coming from and going to 
many directions; you'll want to use them to determine what time your train 
leaves, whether you're at Schiphol or another train station somewhere else in 
the Netherlands.

Finding your train

Below, you can see an example of a departure sign. Using an example 
destination, you'll learn how easy it is to check what time your train leaves 
and which platform you need to go to.

Holland train schedule

The first thing you'll notice is that the departure times are very exact - 
14:21, for example. Unless the train is running late (which only happens about 
10% of the time and even then the delay is usually only 5 to 10 minutes), your 
train will leave exactly at the time indicated.
