Train connection from Amsterdam airport to Eindhoven
In the main building of the Amsterdam airport (Schiphol) you will find the entrance of the railway station and ticket offices. The big yellow NS (NS is the Dutch abbreviation for Dutch railways) signs indicate platform number and time tables. The Dutch railways have an on-line time table in English (enter "Schiphol" for Amsterdam airport) which also indicates platform numbers and final destinations of trains.
From Schiphol you can
1. take the train to Amsterdam Central Station. This train runs four times per hour. At Amsterdam Central Station you head for Spoor 2b (platform 2b). From this platform trains leave for Maastricht and Heerlen via Eindhoven twice an hour.
2. take the train from Amsterdam/Schiphol to Eindhoven (main direction Utrecht/ Eindhoven / sometimes also Maastricht) via "Duivendrecht" (main direction Amersfoort, Enschede, Groningen or Lelystad). Note that Duivendrecht is a small railway station consisting of two floors. In Duivendrecht there is a direct train to Eindhoven (main direction Utrecht/ Eindhoven / sometimes also Maastricht) if you go one floor up to platform 8; you only have a few minutes to change trains. If you miss this connection, you will have to wait for the next opportunity, in about 20 minutes. (Note: take care of your luggage because there are a lot of pick pockets.)
It takes slightly more than one and a half hour to go to Eindhoven. A single ticket Schiphol-Eindhoven costs € 15,60
It is possible to buy a cheap taxi ticket together with your train ticket (€ 3,50 if bought at the NS counter, otherwise € 4,50). This taxi ticket is only valid for special taxis called Treintaxi (train taxi) and not in all cities. In order to keep costs low, train taxi drivers are instructed to give priority to (groups of) passengers with similar travel directions; this may sometimes lead to some waiting time.
