purchase train ticket
purchase train ticket
I see that in Holland to buy a train ticket if you buy it at the desk you must pay more.
If you buy it on the automatic machine the only language is Dutch...
can someone explain the process to take a ticket?
Enkelreis???? dag-retour????
a small dictionary of dutch for train
thanks

If you go here - http://webdemo.ns.nl/e2000.html then click the language of choice (English, German, French or Dutch) this shows you how to use the machine.

yes I see this site but in some site I learn that there are two kinds of ticket machine:
1 - the touch screen machine that has some language but You can pay only with credit card or similar
2 - the normal machine that have a little screen (you put the number of the station for ex. ams is 1000, schipol 1017) and this machine is only in dutch and accept only money

yeah the 2nd machine is different but the buttons you need to press say the same thing so practise on the one in the link and when you get to the others you should know your way around.miguel wrote:yes I see this site but in some site I learn that there are two kinds of ticket machine:

To use the manned ticket office only costs 1 euro extra so if your in too much doubt dont worry about it!

Or ask in English like myself. As for the machine i only use the ones that have the English option. If your stuck get a friendly looking dutch person to help there are many of these around.the happy hacker wrote:here goes to ask for a single ticket to say amsterdam say " ik wil graag een enkeltje naar Amsterdam " or for a return " ik wil graag enn retourtje naar amsterdam " hope this helps

dagretour - day return
weekendretour - weekend return
the machines usually have the option of english though, shown by pressing the Union Jack flag.

Just 1 question. Are the prices the machine gives for tickets correct?

Thanks for the links pretty easy to work out. Do the real machines automatically default to Rotterdam like the demo or am I having a blonde moment?Boner wrote:If you go here - http://webdemo.ns.nl/e2000.html then click the language of choice (English, German, French or Dutch) this shows you how to use the machine.
