HS is not Centraal: it is the station on the Rotterdam line, a tram ride or a 25-minute walk from the Binnenhof. Its point here is the night train, which stops at HS and not at Centraal.

No direct train between 22:45 and 02:05: the evening Intercity directs to Rotterdam run past HS without stopping.

A single-use chipcard from the machine adds EUR 1.60; tap a bank card or buy an e-ticket instead.
