Dutch trains offer various levels of comfort to cater to the needs of all travelers exploring the Netherlands. Whether you're traveling on an Intercity train for medium to long distances or taking a Sprinter for shorter journeys, NS ensures a comfortable and convenient experience.
Intercity trains: These trains are designed to travel medium to long distances and typically stop only at medium-sized and larger stations. All Intercity trains have toilets and quiet zones. Onboard the train, there is always a chief guard. You will also always find the following amenities on Intercity trains:
- First and second class compartments.
- Space for bicycles.
- Disabled facilities.
- Screens with current journey information.
Most Intercity trains have power plugs in the first class section, and in the newer models, there are also power plugs in the second class section.
Sprinter trains: This train type is designed to travel shorter distances and typically stops at each station along a section. As passengers usually only use the Sprinter to cover short distances, there are no quiet zones and toilets are often also not available. However, toilets are becoming more common in Sprinters, improving the travel experience on Dutch railways.
