What time the central train station opens in A'dam?

[specialk]

I got a plane to catch at 7 am.

What times the train station opens? Is it 6am? Then i might be late! And miss my flight? "ive never missed a flight yet" quote comes to mind... K+ to all who tell me what movie its from.

Amsterdams got one of the biggest and busies airports in the world youd like to think they had trains running there 24 hours...

Trains to schiphol airport drive all night and you get out of the train in the middle of the airport.

i was gonna say.. im pretty sure you can get to the airport either way... even if the train didnt run that early... just take a cab if you have to

So the station is open? I think i heard couple dudes talking a while ago how they couldnt get in the station at night or something along the lines....


And btw, how much is a cab to the airport?

that takes you to a site you can see the train times you need
but a quick look showed trains running all night at least once an hour there & back

trains run around the west of the country (Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam) all night long, so the station should be open all night

a cab to the airport from the center area of Amsterdam would probobly be between 30-50 euros... and that's if you don't have a crooked driver who's trying to scam you

 

[oldpink]

if you pre book a cab from some company's the do a €25 - 30 deal
theres plenty of cab companys so shop around and you'll get a deal

central station used to shutdown at midnight so they could kick all the smackheads out ,they would then sleep outside the station till it re-opened then all crawl back in ,,this was in the late 80's ,,

I was there this past friday morning around 4:30 Am. They had tape, like crime scene tape, that said "closed" on the doors of the entrance to the right of the main entrance and although the main entrance was open there were four or five employees there blocking the entrance into the terminal beyond the ticket machines. The first train to Schiphol left the station at 5.00 am. My buddy had a plane to catch at 7:00 am also and we made it there in plenty of time. Me? I sat around for a while, got a coffee to go and went outside on the upper level near the departures gates and puffed up the last White Widow joint I had, then hopped my plane to Newark.
