Worth knowing

The Rotterdam–Utrecht night Intercity, from platforms 1–2, runs at 02:03, 03:03, 04:03 and 05:02, every night except Tuesday to Wednesday. On those nights nothing direct leaves for Amsterdam between the 00:59 Sprinter and 05:39; the planner instead routes 02:12, 03:12 and 04:12 via Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA in 32 minutes, same fare, or take the N97 bus. On Saturday 3 October 2026 there is no direct train to Amsterdam Centraal at all — check the planner for engineering weekends.

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.
