EXCERPT:

Train travel is popular in Holland - efficient and convenient. Most of the 379 stations are in town centres and offer good security and facilities such as restaurants, bookshops, drugstores, flower shops, etc. English is spoken. Trains run every 15 minutes in the major metropolitan areas in and around Amsterdam/The Hague/Rotterdam, and every 30 minutes in the rest of the country. They run from 6am (Sundays and published holidays from 7am) until midnight, but an hourly night service is maintained to major cities and Schiphol airport until 4am. International reservations can only be made at 'NS International' offices in major stations, open 8am-8pm. High-speed trains bring you almost anywhere in Europe in a matter of hours.
