Most trains have free wifi and there are meet & greet (with facing seats), quiet, work and rest zones depending on the activity you want to engage in.
- Mobility access
The NS (Netherlands Trains) offers travel assistance at more than 100 stations in the Netherlands. This assistance is provided by a trained NS employee or taxi driver. They can help you if you are a wheelchair user, visually impaired or have another disability. You report to the agreed meeting point 15 minutes prior to departure.
The NS travel assistant helps you with boarding, transfer and disembarkment and guides you to the train and to the exit of the station at your chosen destination. You must take care of (heavy) luggage yourself. You can also pose any questions you have to travel assistance.
- Luggage
You can take a normal amount of luggage, a couple of bags and a purse, backpack etc. on the train. You can take your folding bicycle with you free as hand luggage if you fold it up. You can not take a bicycle if there is no special space for it. You can also take folding tandems, reclining bicycles or dismantled racing bicycles with you on a bicycle day ticket during off peak hours, at weekends, on public holidays and in July and August. A bicycle day ticket costs about 6€ for any journey.
Luggage lockers and depots are available at and around certain stations to help you safely and easily store your luggage.
- Lost & Found
Always immediately ask the station staff whether your item or luggage has been found. If it has not then you can place a search request using the online form Lost item or call 030 – 75 15 155 (available anytime), or fill in the form Lost item return request (Dutch). You can hand in the completed form at an NS Service desk.
Items that are found are stored at the station where they are handed in for 5 days. After that the station staff send the items to the Centraal Bureau Gevonden Goed.
