Night Service
There is a Night Network (Nachtnet) as follows.
On five nights a week it is just a single U-shaped line with an hourly service connecting Rotterdam Central, Delft, The Hague Central, Leiden Central, Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam Central, Utrecht Central (i.e., most of the large cities in the Randstad as well as the main airport). Due to the U-shape, journey time from the first five stations to Utrecht is longer than during the day. Because the distance between the stations is relatively short, the trains are no sleep trains.
In the weekend the night service is extended to Dordrecht and four cities in the Province of North Brabant.
On Friday and Saturday there is an additional connection between Rotterdam and Amsterdam
