Eight years of headaches and frustrations as a commuter on Dutch trains back in the 1990s was plenty enough to convince me that the internationally held notion that the country runs an efficient rail network is, in fact, utter b*ll*cks...
Dutch trains are also INSANELY expensive.

Not far to go now.
I spoke to the captain last night in the bar(!) to make sure he knew we couldn’t be late.

Interailing through Holland was my introduction to the "you're train isn't late, it just doesn't exist anymore" ploy.
To be fair that particular train might have been French, but the principle stands.

Just far enough away from LDC
Unless you like shoddy cider or canned wine, the 8.16 from st pancras to amsterdam appears to have run out of alcohol.

It was the train we were on. We had to get off. Kaput.

If all goes to plan we now arrive in Amsterdam Centraal at 15:55.
I was slightly confused that what was labelled a replacement train arrived at the same time as the original.

Hope it all goes well from here. :thumbsup:

If it makes you feel any better, on the way back from Marseille one of my trains was delayed by 30minutes leading to me missing my ferry.

That’s ok (irritating, but ok), providing there’s no further issues
Agree.

Once we get to Utrecht we should be okay as we have the option of getting a cab.
