Not on Tuesday nights. The direct night train does not run Tuesday to Wednesday; the N97 bus does, hourly from 01:19, and NS offers a two-train route via Bijlmer ArenA at the same fare.

Between the 01:09 Sprinter and the 02:03 night train nothing leaves for Amsterdam except the 01:19 bus.

It stops at Amsterdam Centraal only in Amsterdam, then goes on to Utrecht. For Zuid or Sloterdijk at night take the N97.

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.
