it is sad that tourists find it difficult to travel with our trains and public transport. I think it is in line with Dutch politics nowadays to scare foreigners off to visit our beautiful coutry which is sad:(. I think that NS and politicians should rethink their policies and find real...

I don´t know how long you would be able to use the Dutchflyer tickets anyway, I think this will cease to exist within the next three years. The mainline railtrack from Hoek van Holland to Schiedam Centrum is going to be closed and rebuilt, and integrated within the Greater Rotterdam suburban...

I was last Friday at Rotterdam Alexander station one barrier was still open at the platform end in the direction to Gouda/Utrecht.

Actually one loco is still used on the IC 119 route from Münster dep 0727 to Innsbruck, Austria. http://forum.opeenshadikhet.nl/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=13640&p=391419#p391419

I am living in The Netherlands so if anyone need a dutch adress I can help and The Hague is on the way to Amsterdam. If anyone is interested please send a PM and we can sort something out.

dutchflyer is valid on normal Intercity trains via The Hague to Amsterdam, and you pay a supplement to take your bike outside peak hours during peak hours, it is not allowed to take your bike within peak hours. Your are not allowed to take your bike at all on the Intercity Direct train from...

Most couchettes are far more comfortable than a coach seat, thats my point of view because I dont like sleeping upright. It´s also very soothing sleeping whilst travelling on rails and it´s typical sounds:D

Yes indeed i was very dissapointed when I took a Eurostar for the first time, didn´t like standard class seats at all, ICE3 I think have the most comfortable seats of all highspeed trains which I travelled with.

I think this kind of solution will also happen over here in the Netherland, apart from some small station around the suburbs in the main cities, which have a alarm button to help you out. Most tourist I think use stations which are staffed anyway, and a city like Groningen in the north don´t...

Why not taking a night train or day train which one you prefer from Belgrade to Budapest and then taking a EuroNight sleeper to Brasov? This could be a good alternative if the other route doesn´t work out

If you at Amsterdam Centraal station the best way to buy your tickets to Brussels is at the ticket desk, you could use ticket machines as well but not all of them are accepting creditcards, i am not sure if they accepting UK debit cards look for a maestro logo. Those machines have english...

Most tourist are using busy mainline stations which are manned and you could ask easily for assistance in this case. Even when i lived in the UK for while and I travelled with the DutchFlyer rail and sail ticket I had to ask for assistance at London Liverpool street to board the train to...

There is bad co operation between SNCF and TrenItalia to run jointly a overnight service thats why they were withdrawn and a private company Thello came into place. The Spanish and French railways prefer now daytime highspeed service rather than overnight trainhotels. In the past you had...

There are under 25 youth tickets available for this train, this is easily obtained at the ticket desk at the station either in Brussels or Amsterdam. The best deals for adults above 25 are either weekend return tickets, or if you are only travelling, and coming back on the same day there are...

Yes they are talking indeed about barcode readers for International ticket holders, this is debated on Dutch Railway forums. Anyway paper tickets are still in place at this moment because the didn´t find a solution how to fix capped prices for long distance routes, and there a still some issues...
