==Train routes by timetable number==<!-- This section is linked from [[Transport in the Netherlands]] -->
Mönkh-Amgalan earned his M.A. (1979), PhD (1993), and Doctor of Science (1997) in linguistics from the National University of Mongolia. His research focuses on modern Mongolian [[modality]], [[pragmatics]], [[semantics]] and [[syntax]]. He is most noted for his pioneering work on modern Mongolian modality as well as his work on comparative Mongolian [[dialectology]].
'''[[Train]] routes in the [[Netherlands]]''' are identified by numbers. The routes are listed here using the official [[Railway stations in the Netherlands#Station abbreviations|abbreviations for the station names]], see [[Railway_stations_in_the_Netherlands#List_of_stations.2C_with_their_official_abbreviations|list of stations, with their official abbreviations]], and in the order corresponding to direction "a" in the official paper [[timetable]]. Reading each list backwards corresponds to direction "b" in the timetable. [http://railweb.techsite.cz/mapy/mnls.jpg] is a map showing these table numbers and the full names of the main stations.


Long distance trains often cover several of these routes, see the next section.
Mönkh-Amgalan has taught [[linguistics]] at the National University of Mongolia since 1979. He has taught Mongolian at [[Bloomington, Indiana]] from 2001 onwards<ref>Ю.Мөнх-Амгалан: Монгол хvн голдуу өөр дээрээ туршилт хийдэг: Interview with M.

===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
*12 crossing the triangle west of Haarlem
*16 crossing itself
*17 and 50 (both branches)
*Diemen-Zuid–Watergraafsmeer and 40 (Amsterdam Central branch)
*The [[HSL-Zuid]] 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: Weesp, Almere, Naarden-Bussum

Triangles without regular passenger traffic on one or two of the sides:
*west of Haarlem
*Rotterdam west: ''Sporendriehoek'' (track triangle)
*Diemen-Zuid, Watergraafsmeer yard (bypassing Diemen), Weesp
*Haren, Groningen, Kropswolde
*[[Amsterdam Centraal]], Hemhaven, Zaandam (bypassing Amsterdam Sloterdijk)

Two crossing lines and an arc:
*Hemboog at Amsterdam Sloterdijk. This bypasses the Amsterdam Sloterdijk station and provides a direct connection between Schiphol and Zaandam / Hoorn. It would also allow a direct train service from Schiphol to Alkmaar, but that is not provided yet due to a lack of capacity.
*The [[Utrechtboog]] at Duivendrecht, which connects the lines Amsterdam CS - Amsterdam Bijlmer Arena - Utrecht CS and Weesp-Schiphol-Nieuw Vennep-Leiden. Before this existed, passengers from Utrecht had to change trains at Duivendrecht when traveling to the airport, or take a longer route through Hilversum.

Two crossing lines with three arcs:
*10/11 and 50 with arcs [[Den Haag Centraal]]–Den Haag HS, Den Haag Centraal–Den Haag Laan van NOI, and freight-only Den Haag HS–Voorburg.

==Future train routes==

There are a couple of new train projects in the Netherlands being either established or investigated.
*The [[HSL-Zuid]] (Hoge Snelheidslijn Zuid, High-speed Line South) will provide a faster connection between [[Amsterdam]] [[Amsterdam Centraal|Central Station]], [[Schiphol]] airport, [[Rotterdam]] and onward to the Belgian cities of [[Antwerp]] and [[Brussels]], where it connects to the already existing high-speed line to [[Paris]], France. This line is being worked on right now, and should be completed in 2009.
*The HSL-Zuid will have branches from the main rail line, connecting [[The Hague]] and [[Breda]]. Next to the services going straight to Belgium, there will be a shuttle service between [[The Hague]]. [[Rotterdam]], [[Breda]] and on to [[Antwerp]] and [[Brussels]]. A second shuttle will be operating between [[Breda]] and [[Amsterdam]].
*The [[Hanzelijn]] will connect [[Lelystad]] with [[Zwolle]] and would shorten the travelling time between the [[Randstad]] and the northern provinces. Construction has started early 2007 and should be completed in 2012.
*The connection between [[Maastricht]] and the Belgian [[Lanaken]] is being reopened, for freight trains only at first. There are plans for a light rail connection between these two cities, and extensions to the bigger Belgian city of [[Hasselt]].
*There are plans to improve and extend the line between [[Weert]] and [[Neerpelt]] (Belgium), currently used for low-speed freight traffic only, to carry regular passenger services. This would create a fast connection between [[Eindhoven]], Middle [[Limburg (Netherlands)|Dutch Limburg]] and North [[Limburg (Belgium)|Belgian Limburg]] and eventually [[Antwerp]]. Currently, the only connection to Antwerp is via [[Roosendaal]].

==Changes of NS services from 20?? due to the [[HSL-Zuid]]==
The following is especially relevant for people who need to avoid the HSL-Zuid: people traveling in peak hours who do not want to pay a much higher fare, and holders of NS passes.

The existing Benelux train service will be replaced by an HSL Benelux train, stopping in [[Amsterdam]], [[Schiphol (railway station)|Schiphol]], [[Rotterdam]], [[Breda]], [[Antwerp]], [[Mechelen]] and the [[Brussels]] Central and Midi.

The [[Vlissingen]] - [[Amsterdam]] intercity trains will run via [[Haarlem]] instead of [[Schiphol]], and will run twice an hour. This route takes about the same time as the route via [[Schiphol]], and the additional train per hour will replace the Benelux train when it comes to domestic services.

This means that travelling with NS from Rotterdam to Schiphol, one will have to change in Leiden, using the preserved train service [[Den Haag Centraal]] - [[Leiden]] Centraal - [[Schiphol (railway station)|Schiphol]] - Amsterdam Centraal.

Railway network. Number of tracks: 1=red, 2=blue, 3=green, 4=yellow.
Maximum speeds on the railway network.

Train routes by timetable number

Train routes in the Netherlands are identified by numbers. The routes are listed here using the official abbreviations for the station names, see list of stations, with their official abbreviations, and in the order corresponding to direction "a" in the official paper timetable. Reading each list backwards corresponds to direction "b" in the timetable. [1] is a map showing these table numbers and the full names of the main stations.

Long distance trains often cover several of these routes, see the next section.

For schedules and maps of routes see ns.nl.

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
  • 12 crossing the triangle west of Haarlem
  • 16 crossing itself
  • 17 and 50 (both branches)
  • Diemen-Zuid–Watergraafsmeer and 40 (Amsterdam Central branch)
  • The HSL-Zuid 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: Weesp, Almere, Naarden-Bussum

Triangles without regular passenger traffic on one or two of the sides:

  • west of Haarlem
  • Rotterdam west: Sporendriehoek (track triangle)
  • Diemen-Zuid, Watergraafsmeer yard (bypassing Diemen), Weesp
  • Haren, Groningen, Kropswolde
  • Amsterdam Centraal, Hemhaven, Zaandam (bypassing Amsterdam Sloterdijk)

Two crossing lines and an arc:

  • Hemboog at Amsterdam Sloterdijk. This bypasses the Amsterdam Sloterdijk station and provides a direct connection between Schiphol and Zaandam / Hoorn. It would also allow a direct train service from Schiphol to Alkmaar, but that is not provided yet due to a lack of capacity.
  • The Utrechtboog at Duivendrecht, which connects the lines Amsterdam CS - Amsterdam Bijlmer Arena - Utrecht CS and Weesp-Schiphol-Nieuw Vennep-Leiden. Before this existed, passengers from Utrecht had to change trains at Duivendrecht when traveling to the airport, or take a longer route through Hilversum.

Two crossing lines with three arcs:

  • 10/11 and 50 with arcs Den Haag Centraal–Den Haag HS, Den Haag Centraal–Den Haag Laan van NOI, and freight-only Den Haag HS–Voorburg.

Future train routes

There are a couple of new train projects in the Netherlands being either established or investigated.

  • The HSL-Zuid (Hoge Snelheidslijn Zuid, High-speed Line South) will provide a faster connection between Amsterdam Central Station, Schiphol airport, Rotterdam and onward to the Belgian cities of Antwerp and Brussels, where it connects to the already existing high-speed line to Paris, France. This line is being worked on right now, and should be completed in 2009.
  • The HSL-Zuid will have branches from the main rail line, connecting The Hague and Breda. Next to the services going straight to Belgium, there will be a shuttle service between The Hague. Rotterdam, Breda and on to Antwerp and Brussels. A second shuttle will be operating between Breda and Amsterdam.
  • The Hanzelijn will connect Lelystad with Zwolle and would shorten the travelling time between the Randstad and the northern provinces. Construction has started early 2007 and should be completed in 2012.
  • The connection between Maastricht and the Belgian Lanaken is being reopened, for freight trains only at first. There are plans for a light rail connection between these two cities, and extensions to the bigger Belgian city of Hasselt.
  • There are plans to improve and extend the line between Weert and Neerpelt (Belgium), currently used for low-speed freight traffic only, to carry regular passenger services. This would create a fast connection between Eindhoven, Middle Dutch Limburg and North Belgian Limburg and eventually Antwerp. Currently, the only connection to Antwerp is via Roosendaal.

Changes of NS services from 20?? due to the HSL-Zuid

The following is especially relevant for people who need to avoid the HSL-Zuid: people traveling in peak hours who do not want to pay a much higher fare, and holders of NS passes.

The existing Benelux train service will be replaced by an HSL Benelux train, stopping in Amsterdam, Schiphol, Rotterdam, Breda, Antwerp, Mechelen and the Brussels Central and Midi.

The Vlissingen - Amsterdam intercity trains will run via Haarlem instead of Schiphol, and will run twice an hour. This route takes about the same time as the route via Schiphol, and the additional train per hour will replace the Benelux train when it comes to domestic services.

This means that travelling with NS from Rotterdam to Schiphol, one will have to change in Leiden, using the preserved train service Den Haag Centraal - Leiden Centraal - Schiphol - Amsterdam Centraal.

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: InterCityExpress International, THA: Thalys, RB: DB RegionalBahn, RE: DB 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 (section Hoofddorp – beyond Nieuw-Vennep under construction : 2 extra tracks are the High Speed line.
  • 10, 11 Leiden – Rijswijk
  • 10, 16, 17 Den Haag Centraal - Den Haag Laan v NOI
  • 11 Schiedam – Dordrecht
  • 20, 40 Amsterdam Centraal – Amsterdam Muiderpoort
  • 20 Amsterdam Bijlmer Arena – Utrecht
  • 24, 27 Boxtel – Eindhoven
  • 32, 42 Utrecht Centraal – Utrecht Overvecht
  • 50 Utrecht – Woerden (under construction)
  • 50 Gouda – Gouda Goverwelle
