A station big enough, important traffic hub from the airport to railway. Be ready to go crazy for a moment(or two, or three) about tickets, and welcome to the club of the ‘don’t understand the shit about how things work in Netherlands’. You will find two machines: one for owners of a card(dunno more), the other for mere mortals. Ah uhm, after several days I still haven’t understood whether it’s possible to pay cash or card only. No words. Remember to pass your ticket in special columns you will find getting in, simply bringing it closer. I’ve never seen controllers, but you need it to exit. In short, the Dutch transport system still has shadow cones for me! But it’s ok, you can figure it out basically to be able to move :)

F you ever put your bags in a locker in Eindhoven Central Railway, put your Visa card in first. We made the mistake of not reading Dutch and we came back to the locker with 15 minutes til our trains departed and both bags were gone and we were like WTF? The little«Dutch Bag Police» said they took our bags to the service desk, we had to pay the fine there. WE were like WTF? We saw how long the line was there and it was at least 15 minutes so we took off running. We got there just as the line was clearing thank goodness. They have a Starbucks which not all train stations have. The ticket machines are not very user friendly and unfortunately if you want to talk to an English Speaking clerk, which the Dutch speak rather good English, then you will need to reserve 20 minutes for that just incase,
