Train travel in the Netherlands is easy. In the city you won't need a train to travel anywhere, everything in the city centre is walkable on foot. If you wanna go to a different city, look at www.nl.nl for the timetables. From the 4th of April and onwards you can travel even in the night (only on Friday's and Saturday's) between Tilburg and Den Bosch, Eindhoven, Breda and Dordrecht.

Tilburg has three train stations: Central station, Tilburg Universiteit, and Tilburg Reeshof. The central station, with its three tracks, is a dwarf compared to the train stations in Utrecht, 's-Hertogenbosch and Amsterdam. The front of the train station faces right onto the city centre, and to get to where you want to be, all you need to do is cross the street and turn left or walk straight on.

For waiting travellers there are two kiosks, a shop with coffee and cakes, a bookshop and a Sushi restaurant within the station. Outside you will also find a kebab place and a tiny supermarket. You can purchase train tickets at the service desk in the hall or at one of the ticket dispensers. Do note that the ticket dispensers do not always accept foreigner bank cards, so make sure you have plenty of coins with you to operate them. Close to the entrance you can change foreigner currencies into Euros and vice versa.Tilburg Universiteit and Tilburg Reeshof can only be reached by 'stoptrein' (a train which stops at all small stations). Tilburg Universiteit is a small way station with three tracks and is located close to Tilburg University. Which also explains the presence of large groups of young people with a thirst for knowledge. Tilburg Reeshof has two tracks and connects to the most westerly part of Tilburg, the new estate called Reeshof.
