Attention, returning students! This year, as possibly every year, the NS has raised train prices. Again. Possibly to justify this increase, they have also changed all the train times, so whatever sense you had made of train travel in the Netherlands will now have been thrown into oblivion.

OK, it's not that bad, but don't be surprised at all the changes that will present themselves when you head into the Centraal Station.

One thing remains constant, however: The gobs of construction. Happy travels!
