Schiphol Arrivals to Schiphol (train station).

During your wait for your luggage it is already possible to buy a train ticket to Ede-Wageningen using the ticket vending machines. Click here to 'practice' using the machines. Small tip: pressing the English flag in the bottom of the screen makes it a lot easier. Also pay attention to which class of ticket you book. Some of the ticketing machines are set to 'first class' by default.

Note that the ticket machines and the ticket offices generally do not accept credit cards. You can pay with coins in the machine or with debit cards (Maestro). Paying with paper money is only possible at the ticket office (in the main hall near the platforms). It will cost you an additional 50 cents.

The tickets are valid on all national trains and some international trains. For national trips like this, no reservation is needed. With the ticket you can just enter the first train that goes in the direction you want to.

After having left arrivals, just follow the signs with the trains to the center hall.

Once you are there you first need to take care of the last part of the journey. In case you are planning to take the public bus, you will need a bus ticket, which can be bought in the busses themselves.

The large blue screens tell you how to get to all larger train stations (including Ede-Wageningen) and where your train leaves. The yellow signs also indicate departures of trains and are sorted on destionation first, although Ede-Wageningen will not be named as the first destination. Search for destinations in the direction of Utrecht, and then continue your search for Ede-Wageningen. If you find yourself not sure what to do, or where to go, don't hesitate to ask the NS service staff for help.

To get to Wageningen the fastest, you want to get an Intercity service calling at Ede-Wageningen. The intercity service heading for Nijmegen will do so (Nijmegen is the final station the trainline will arrive at).


From Train station 'Ede-Wageningen' to the conference venue in Wageningen

At Ede-Wageningen you have (at least) 2 options to travel to the conference venue (Hof van Wageningen).

First, the taxi: leave the platform by walking down the stairs, turn right to the 'noordzijde' of the station (northwards). Exiting the station-tunnel by the stairs, you will see the taxi-stand in front of you. Taxis will bring you to your destination straight away (appr. 20-30 euros, you may share taxis).

Public Bus: depart the platform by walking down the stairs, turn left, to the 'zuidzijde' of the station (southwards). Exiting the station-tunnel by the stairs in the southern direction pass by the solid bicycle shed, turn left again, to find after 100 meters the bus-stop of bus line 88. It will quickly bring you to the, easy to recognize, busstation in Wageningen. Here you walk back from where the bus came from (westwards) for 2 blocks, on the left sidewalk, to arrive at the conference center 'Hof van Wageningen'. The 'Brink' is at the busstation. This region and public transport is safe.
To buy a busticket, once again tell the busdriver what your destination will be, and he will provide you with the required ticket. Board line 88 to Wageningen Bus station. The destined bus station is the terminal station.
