Occasionally, there may be maintenance or strikes that occur which disrupt travel to your destination. Whenever possible, keep an alternate route in mind and be aware of upcoming events that may delay your plans. Often, if your train line is blocked for an extended period of time, there will be buses to assist in getting you to your destination. However, buses are slower than trains, so plan ahead of scheduled maintenance!

			If you are not using a direct debit service, OV-Chipkaarts need to be refilled to a minimum amount of euro before travelling. The 20 EUR is required as a minimum before you can check in to ride on a train. You can supply your card with money by ordering credit at machines, which are found at train stations, or you can order credit online and “pick up” the credit by checking in at a station. Additionally, there is a small OV-chipkaart station in Metaforum next to the reception desk where you can tap your card and pick up credit.

NS (Nederlands Spoorwegen, Dutch Railways) is the agency in charge of the trains, and thus is your main way of getting from city to city in the Netherlands.
