Train routes in the Netherlands

Train routes by timetable number
Train routes in the Netherlands are identified by numbers. The routes are listed here using abbreviations for the station names and in the order corresponding to direction "a" in the official timetable. Reading each list backwards corresponds to direction "b" in the timetable. [1] (http://railweb.techsite.cz/mapy/mnls.jpg) is a map showing these table numbers, while [2] (http://www.ns.nl/graphics/pdf/kaart.pdf) shows the full names of all stations, as well as the distances.
Long distance trains often cover several of these routes, see the next section.
The abbreviations of station names used are the official ones. To find the full names see the map mentioned above, or http://www.treinen.demon.nl/htm/station.htm for a list, or type the abbreviation in http://www.ns.nl/domestic/domestic.cgi?Domestic/Station+Facilities/Facilities+per+Station which converts the abbreviation to the full name and also gives station information.
For schedules and maps of routes see http://www.ns.nl/domestic/domestic.cgi?Domestic/Journey+and+Price/Planner+Plus

For a given departure and arrival station such lists can be conveniently produced by extracting them from the trainroute in the source code of the webpage produced by requesting a journey advice from http://www.ns.nl/domestic/ .
Non-electrified lines
(with timetable number)
- Groningen-Delfzijl 84
- Groningen-Roodeschool 83
- Groningen-Nieuweschans Grens 85
- Groningen-Leeuwarden 80
- Leeuwarden-Harlingen 81
- Leeuwarden-Stavoren 82
- Zwolle-Kampen 63
- Zwolle-Wierden 65
- Almelo-Marienberg 72
- Zutphen-Hengelo 73

- Zutphen-Winterswijk 71
- Arnhem-Winterswijk 70
- Arnhem-Tiel 68

Crossing lines
(not including just crossing tracks, such as fly-overs at a junction)
See Train station#Train stations at a crossing.
Without station:
- 10/11 and 50
- 16 crossing itself
- 17 and 50 (both branches)
- The HSL being constructed crosses 14, 50 and 61.
Railway triangles
Normally a railway junction means a location from where there are railway lines in three directions A, B and C, where trains coming from A can go to B and C, while to go from B to C the train has to reverse direction. Sometimes there is also a nearby arc from B to C, hence a small triangle of lines:
- Gooiboog
- The triangle Den Haag Centraal, Den Haag HS, Den Haag Laan van NOI, with additionally a line from Den Haag Centraal crossing the line between the other two.
Triangles without regular passenger traffic on one of the sides:
- Haarlem
- Rotterdam west: Sporendriehoek (track triangle)
Two crossing lines and an arc:
- Hemboog
- The Utrechtboog, which connects the lines Amsterdam CS-Utrecht CS and Gaasperdammerweg Aansluiting – Schiphol. Until the construction of the Utrechtboog is done, passengers have to change trains at Duivendrecht.
Train number series
Below are the train routes in the Netherlands with starting number of the train number series, not to be confused with the numbers of locomotives, rail cars or train-sets, or with the table numbers of routes in the paper timetable, given in the previous section.
IC: intercity, EC: EuroCity D: semi-fast train, R: stoptrein, LR: light rail, ICE: Intercity Express International, THA: Thalys, B: Boat train Hoek van Holland, RB: DB Regionalbahn, RE: RegionalExpress, CNL: CityNightLine
E.g., in the 1400 series the last two digits are 01, 05, 09, 13 and 17 in anti-clockwise direction (timetable numbers 11b, 10b, 20a) and 02, 06, 10, 14, 18 and 22 in clockwise direction (timetable numbers 20b, 10a, 11a).
Train routes with reversal of direction
Train routes with reversal of direction on the way (all with multiple units), with station:
Stretches with four tracks
- 10 Schiphol – Hoofddorp
- 10, 11 Leiden – Rijswijk
- 10, 16, 17 Den Haag Centraal - Den Haag Laan v NOI
