Getting around by train and bicycle

Why go

Rail provides the broader network for moving between urban centres. At a smaller scale, dedicated cycle tracks, bicycle traffic lights and station parking show how cycling forms part of everyday transport. Distinguish that passenger network from Rotterdam’s freight connections, where ships, river barges, railways and roads move goods into the European interior.

Useful to know

• Check the official rail timetable for your chosen towns; use current departures when planning connections.
• When cycling, follow bicycle-specific traffic lights at junctions where they are provided.
