Below are the train routes in the Netherlands. For the paper version of the timetable, below the routes of the "a"-direction for each table number are given, the reverse direction is indicated with "b". [1] is a map showing these table numbers, while [1] shows the full names of all stations, as well as the distances.
Longer distance trains often cover several of these stretches, see also next section.
The official abbreviations of station names are used, to find the full names see the map mentioned above, or http://www.treinen.demon.nl/htm/station.htm for a list, or type the abbreviation in http://www.ns.nl/domestic/domestic.cgi?Domestic/Station+Facilities/Facilities+per+Station , this converts the abbreviation to the full name and also gives station info.
