Photo Evidence – Train Schedules?
Stuart
Stuart is an accident prone Englishman who has been living in the Netherlands since 2001. Even his move to the country was an unintentional accident, the result of replying to a cryptic job advertisement he found one day in a local British magazine. Since then he has learned to love the Dutch (so much so that he married one of them) and now calls the country home. He started the blog Invading Holland in 2006 as a place to share his strange stories of language misunderstandings, cultural confusions and his own accident prone nature.
Excellent! :) Train-related posts I keep meaning to do include how the English option on the NS ticket machines are essentially meaningless…has anyone else noticed this?
Nathalie in NL: I had not but now I’m going to have to check :)
I think in Belgium, you just expected to “know” things. Like street names, train schedules, etc., since they don’t seem to have them marked from what I’ve heard.
Alison – Typical. No street signs but chemists on every street corner (they are the one thing they have every where).
The dragonkeeper and I will have to check this out next time we are in Brussels Midi (Probably in the Summer) Is it a touch screen?
Ah, so that’s why the Fyra is never on time, if they reach their destination at all.
Dragon Lady – Yep. IT’s a huge touch screen in the middle of the platform.
Likeahike – I use the Fyra every day and it was on time… once… I think… I’m not sure… maybe I dreamed it.
I think the Network Map looks a little like a dinosaur.
Heather – There is something sort of Godzilla about it isn’t there.
