Hi guys,

I'm booking a train ticket from Amsterdam Centraal to Berlin HBf.
There's one transfer point in Hilversum but the time is only 4 minutes to shift the train. Please suggest me how to make preparation for this short time cause I'm going with family.
If I miss that connecting train, is it possible to catch another one without additional cost ?

Amsterdam Centraal聽聽06:56聽聽 IC 1521 Intercity
Hilversum聽聽聽聽聽聽 07:17聽

Transfer time : 4 minutes.

Really appreciate for any valuable information.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Iwan,

You (normally) arrive in Hilversum at track 3, your connection to Berlin leaves at track 2.
You just have to cross the platform from track 2 to 3, it can be done in a few seconds. Normaly the train will wait for transferring passengers.

You can see a picture of the platform you ave to cross on wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilversum_railway_station

If you miss the transfer due to a delay of more than 30minutes you can ask for a refund . When you travel with NS: see ns.nl/en/travellers/service/delays/refunds-for-delays

If you have more questions or need tips to see in Berlin just send me a e-mail.

Greetings,

Klaas
