Why can't find destination Rijen, Netherlands


Linda Breault

Why can’t I find train to rijen, Netherland (or Breda) on euro rail website, does it mean Rjen is not covered by Eurorail?  Rijen does have a train station.

This stop is named GILZE-Rijen as it serves 2 villages and G is the major and closest by one. In local dialect-brabants- it is named Gils en de Rije. There used to be a large airforce base there. About half way between the major cities of Breda and Tilburg-stopping trains only, ev 30 mins. If you plan to visit family or so in Rijen-a bus from Breda brings you closer by.

MOre or better planners might give you options of similar sounding names.

Yes those are valid with Interrail as is all of the railway in Netherlands.

I don’t know what problem you are having but it is better anyway to use the planner of major european railway operators.
