Description of the data

This dataset contains all passenger train services in the Netherlands since 2019. The data is offered as CSV files compressed with Gzip.

Each row in these files represent a stop at a station. Each service at least departs from and arrives at a station (i.e. two rows). For each stop, you can find the name of the station, the arrival and departure time, delays and cancellations. The exact meaning of each column is explained below.

The source for this data is the real-time data from NS with live departure times, live arrival times and service updates. This data is also used in the app and website of Rijden de Treinen.
