Tandems on trains in Netherlands

Chris Gunstone2025-02-27 20:01:40

I get the impression from the internet that tandems are not welcome on Dutch trains. Our tandem has S&S  coupling - does anyone have up to date information on whether we can take this from Amsterdam to (near the) campsite at Barchem?

Hi Chris, from July 2024, all but solo (unless for disabled) were banned from Dutch trains.

We used Belgian trains last year en route to the International. Very welcoming especially the new rolling stock (a whole carriage with tip seats along the sides on lower deck, fairly easy to get on and off). euro 8 maximum day fare for over 65s.
