Kees Volkers

This book is a diary of a train traveller, in the Netherlands, from July 2002 to July 2003. The time when it plays is the problem of the book, it is already old-fashioned. Public transport has improved over the last couple of years. There is more information, trains seem to be more on time.

Yes there is place for further improvements, and the departure platforms on large stations can be confusing. But just look on the large number of boards with information, and you will normally find your train. Sarcastically, the most confusing station I know here is Schiphol, just where all the foreigners arive by plane....

So the book was slightly interesting and has some good points, but mostly outdated and also not representative for the whole country.
