Practical Information Practical Information Utrecht is located in the heart of the Netherlands, on a crossroad of rails, roads and waterways and thus easily accessible from any direction.. Utrecht is only a 30 minute train ride from Schiphol Airport and a 60 minute train ride from Eindhoven Airport and Rotterdam The Hague Airport. The Utrecht main railway station is a national and European train junction, where local trains from all parts of the Netherlands as well as international trains from all over Europe arrive daily.

International trains - Thalys (Paris) - Intercity (IC) Antwerp/Brussels - ICE International (Germany) - City night line (several cities in Europe) Trains: Stop trains and intercity (IC) trains have one thing in common- they all stop in Utrecht!

Amsterdam and Schiphol Airport are just 30 minutes by train and Rotterdam and The Hague are 45 minutes. Daily international trains to and from Brussels (2 hours), Cologne (2.5 hours) and Paris (3,5 hours). For more information, go to www.ns.nl or www.nshighspeed.nl.

EPF has engaged with CER and CIT on the subject of passengers’ rights for a number of years now. Although we don’t always agree, discussions have always been constructive.

Passengers rights’ provisions are only just starting to be implemented in many places and continuing efforts are needed. For example there should be greater effort to inform passengers of their rights, especially at stations.
