Holland has a very compact and modern railway network. Each day about 4,200 passenger trains run on the 3,200 km / 1,900 miles of track. The Netherlands Railway (NS) trains are comfortable and clean. The services are fast and frequent and the majority of the staff speak English. Most routes have departure times about every half hour, busy routes can often have as many as four to six departures an hour.
In the Netherlands the combination of bicycles and railways functions very harmoniously. Almost every train has a special compartment to store your bicycle when travelling with the tickets costing only 7 Euros a day per bike.
