NS adds line numbers to station displays from 13 December

Information displays at Dutch stations will show line numbers from 13 December, to give travellers more guidance during transfers, platform changes and disruptions.

The railway operator NS will start showing line numbers on the information displays at stations on 13 December. The numbers are meant to help travellers recognise their train.

The numbers are meant to give travellers more guidance, especially when they change trains, when their train leaves from a different platform and during disruptions. From 13 December, anyone looking at a station display will see them.
