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:
“The LORD went in front of them in a pillar of cloud by day, to lead them along the way, and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light, so that they might travel by day and by night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 13:21,22.
“You had to face your ends when young
‘Twas wine or women, or some curse
But never made a poorer song
That you might have a heavier purse,
Nor gave loud service to a cause
That you might have a troop of friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
