The Dutch Railways - NS

These pages are intended to give some information on the Dutch Railways, mainly for foreigners that want to visit The Netherlands (by train), but I can imagine that this information is also useful for Dutch travellers.
In the UK you can make inquiries and obtain tickets directly by phoning +44-1962-773747. They are very quick to answer and helpful, much better than British Rail!

Please pick your choice from the list:

Introduction to the Dutch Railways (NS)
Railway Map with distances between large(r) stations
Timetables of International Trains to and from The Netherlands
Timetables of National InterCity and Express trains
