Home > Railway stations in the Netherlands
There are 386 train stations in the Netherlands (since December 2003). This number will go up by one on 12 December 2004, when Almere Oostvaarders is opened. Closure of the station at Dalen on the same date was planned, but fell through due to a mistake in the notification procedure.1 Categories
Stations are divided into three categories, in order of decreasing importance:
- Intercity stations, where all trains halt (except that international trains do not halt on some intercity stations).
- Semi-fast-train (sneltrein) stations, where semi-fast and local trains halt.
- The remaining stations, where only local trains halt.
However, on many lines there are only two categories of trains (intercity and local), or only one (local).
The departure schedules (see external links) show at the top the indication IC for intercity stations and S for semi-fast-train stations.
2 Spelling
Two-name stations are written with a dash to mean "and", and with a space if the second term provides more detail: Beek- Elsloo, but Alkmaar Noord.
