Several of them have been caught on camera however: like this one by a VIRM.

There aren't such train stations in the Netherlands AFAIK, though it is possible by tram. Route 20 and 21 in Utrecht first stop at CS Jaarbeurszijde and then go via the rollercoaster* towards the other side of the station where they stop at CS Centrumzijde again, which takes 4 minutes according...

In the Netherlands Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA station is only a 5 minute walk (or 250 meters by railway) away from Amsterdam ArenA station (which is rarely used though, only for special trains for football fans). And also pretty near eachother though on paper one station: from Amsterdam Sloterdijk...

It looks like SBB is able to sell a ticket for CHF 7,80 on their website. This consists of a ticket from Preglia to Domodossola for 2,80 CHF and a ticket to Stresa for 5 CHF.

The reason behind that is that Zwolle has trains leaving in eight different directions which (almost) all connect to eachother. That's also why the station is so big: there are 11 trains or so at the same time and after that the station is mostly empty for 20 minutes until the next "knoop...

Here's one that actually is on the busway network. Note the detail that they applied the wrong sticker at the front of the bus: there it's an U-bus while on the sides it's branded as U-link (which are the BRT routes mostly using the busway network in Utrecht, though not entirely)...

They're usually leased and this is obviously financed by the subsidy in the contract. When I counted correctly 220 new electric buses will come in service for the Utrecht Binnen contract and some existing ones are taken over from Qbuzz. This is one of the larger franchises in the Netherlands...

No that's not normal, but there are engineering works ongoing at Schiphol Airport at the moment resulting in reduced capacity. Diverting via Haarlem, Leiden and the Hague then is the most convenient alternative.

No they aren't. That's actually why there are two FLIRTs at the Valleilijn so they can use them in double traction. (Which they couldn't previously when they had only one GTW on that line). Keeping close to the maintenance facility is not really a thing for NS. They previously maintained DDAR...

Connex started in the Netherlands by taking over Limex (Regional operator in South Limburg), Stadsbus Maastricht and later BBA. All three companies continued under their own brand name however, with "Connex Group" added to it. AFAIK that never caused much of an issue as those three companies...

Last year that wasn't the case: I travelled this summer with a pass purchased in last years black Friday sale.

Perfectly normal in the Netherlands. No, this accident took place on an AHOB (translated: automated half barrier crossing) and as barriers are only blocking one half of the road vehicles are supposed to be able to escape. Lidar has only been in use on ADOBs (automated double barrier crossing)...

Later media reports, including the video posted by @Beebman, state a slightly different cause: the truck was supposed to drive to a weighing bridge after loading. That weighing bridge was located at a different company's site directly next to the railway. For some reason, I've seen the...

Well, there is actually no free transport offer that covers the entire STB... (Though hotels in the Stubaital offer a voucher for free travel from and to Innsbruck, but that's just a single trip and not useful for you) Within Innsbruck the Innsbruck Card is good value especially when you'd take...

Those cards are not provided by every hotel however although the welcome card does include a larger portion of the STB than the Innsbruck Card (which you can buy) of day tickets do.

Of course they happen. I've, only once though, managed to claim a delay repay from Interrail for a domestic journey in Switzerland (so more than an hour delay). Started with a breakdown of the train between Interlaken and Luzern (resulted in a 20 minute delay) and after arriving in Luzern I...

Or with SEPA direct debit, which apparently is also available for buying tickets in the app. What I find practical in many German regions is that tickets are available via the DB navigator app, so you don't require a whole range of apps to buy your tickets. In Hamburg buying your ticket...

Registring your bank or credit card also has the advantage of being able to add personalised subscriptions to it, which will be introduced in many regions as of next year. In the Netherlands it's simple: you always check out when leaving the vehicle in case the vehicle has validators. When the...

The high speed line has a foundation of concrete piles on which a concrete slab was installed where the tracks are on, so wouldn't expect axle load issues there. 1761126975 The axle load restrictions in the Netherlands are mainly related to problems with embankments. Due to climate change and...

According to the Dutch wikipedia the line was fenced off at the border during WW1. In Baarle there are still Dutch buses crossing through Belgium by the way without stopping. This nowadays also applies to bus route 19 which crosses through Belgium to get from Hulst to Roosendaal. 1761075894...
