see latest post for Schiphol to Utrecht by train

Schiphol to Utrecht by train
Arrive at Schiphol
Follow signs for trains (do a right and a left)

ticket office
get a single to Utrecht Centraal (changing at DUIVENDRECHT)-fare �10,40

Ask the ticket cashier which platform, they're dead friendly and speak English very

well.

1st stop is Amsterdam Zuid WTC
2nd stop Amsterdam RAI
3rd stop is Duivendrecht - GET OUT

You'll arrive downstairs follow the masses and the suitcases upstairs (blue signs for

Utrecht). You'll probably find that a train arrives for Utrecht Centraal, but no-one

gets on it??!.... this is because its a 'stoptrein'. Wait 5 minutes and catch the

'sneltrein'.

Stoptrein = slow (stops at all the stations)
Sneltrein = fast (limited stops)

If you get the 'SnelTrein' to Utrecht Centraal and it's your 1st stop.. YAY

TOTAL TIME 37 MINUTES

If you get on a 'stoptrein' at Duivendrecht, fear not you'll just have to stop at

these stations:

Amsterdam Bijlmer
Abcoude
Breukelen
Maarssen
Utrecht Centraal is the 5th stop
TOTAL TIME 55 Minutes

If all has failed and nothing looks familiar you may have got on the 'stoptrein' at

Schiphol, you'll be doing all these stations:

Amsterdam Zuid WTC
Amsterdam RAI
Duivendrecht
Diemen Zuid
Weesp
Naarden-Bussum
Bussum Zuid
Hilversum Noord
Hilversum
Hilversum Sportpark
Hollandsche Rading
Utrecht Overvecht
Utrecht Centraal

TOTAL TIME 1 HOUR 10 minutes

You can also catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam, then change for Utrecht, it's

probably just as easy except that Amsterdam CS is very big.
