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

Famous quotes containing the words night and/or service:
“All day long and all night through,
One thing only must I do:
Quench my pride and cool my blood,
Lest I perish in the flood.”
—Countee Cullen (1903–1946)
“We could not help being struck by the seeming, though innocent, indifference of Nature to these men’s necessities, while elsewhere she was equally serving others. Like a true benefactress, the secret of her service is unchangeableness. Thus is the busiest merchant, though within sight of his Lowell, put to pilgrim’s shifts, and soon comes to staff and scrip and scallop-shell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
