EUR 7.80 is the 2026 second-class single, 29 fare units, printed by NS's route page, planner and shop; no supplement applies, and the Off-peak Group Ticket never beats singles on a fare this low. A child aged 4 to 11 rides all day on a EUR 2.50 Railrunner.

Buy and validate a ticket

Before boarding — a ticket bought but not validated can be fined.

03

Ride to Leiden Centraal

15–21 min.

Worth knowing

Ten trains an hour on weekdays from platforms 5–6 — six Intercities in 15 to 17 minutes, four Sprinters in 21 — 05:05 to 00:58, six an hour at weekends. The night Intercity runs 02:05 to 04:05 in 16 minutes most nights, but not on 15 and 29 September 2026. Nothing runs between 00:58 and 02:05.

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