Any train towards Den Haag or Rotterdam stops here; the Intercity direct to Rotterdam does not, and needs a supplement anyway.

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

Buy the supplement before you board. Without it the conductor charges EUR 10 for it in the train, by NS's own conditions. A bank card tapped at the gate does not include it: buy it as an e-ticket in the NS app.

The EUR 3.20 applies only between Schiphol and Rotterdam Centraal. The same train needs no supplement between Schiphol and Amsterdam Zuid.

It skips Leiden and Den Haag. For those, and for a supplement-free ride, take the ordinary Intercity, 50 minutes.

The Eurocity Direct at 11 past is the Brussels train; an ordinary NS ticket plus the supplement boards it as far as Rotterdam.
