mardibloke addict Registered: 14/08/2000 Posts: 468 Loc: Penarth, UK	I would be interested to hear from anyone arriving into Schiphol Airport for the day on Sunday, to take the chance to share a hire car to the meet. - -- Rod, UK Mk2 64gig Red S/No.341 2xDell RioReceiver _________________________ - -- Rod, UK

Would get into Schiphol airport sometime after 9am ( LOCAL Netherlands time ), and look for a flight around 10pm ( LOCAL Netherlands time ). I have to get back the same day, so will not be staying over. - -- Rod, UK Mk2 64gig Red S/No.341 2xDell RioReceiver _________________________ - -- Rod, UK

Even on a Sunday, it will be hard work. Why not just use the train? It is cheap, fast and direct - and the railway station is right under the airport terminal. Instructions are in the announcement.

Feel free to mail me. paul@nailed.demon.co.uk Paul.

mardibloke addict Registered: 14/08/2000 Posts: 468 Loc: Penarth, UK	Will I have any problems getting a train back to the airport on Sunday evening - I would hate to miss my return flight ! I wonder if its a nice walk from the bus station to the meet, if its a nice day I might take a walk, as I make it only around 1 mile ? - -- Rod, UK Mk2 64gig Red S/No.341 2xDell RioReceiver _________________________ - -- Rod, UK

schofiel carpal tunnel Registered: 25/06/1999 Posts: 2993 Loc: Wareham, Dorset, UK	Well, I wouldn't try walkng from the centre of Amersfoort (Amersfoort central station). You could walk from Amersfoort Schothorst (about a mile). Both stations have regular bus services to the meet (number 12). Trains back to the airport are every half hour all day; you should have no trouble getting a train back to Schiphol all day. If there is any problem then I will drive people out to Schiphol after the meet, so don't worry! If you want to look at train times, check out the NS timetable and look for the English language version of the page. Buses are also every half hour.
