Without checking ns.nl I'd take a guess it's €3.80 (I'm going to look now anyway).

Yep it's €3.80, if you go to the counter it'll cost you an extra 50 cents per ticket, the machines only take coins as well if memory serves me correctly.

Ah cool thanks Boner - I will have my coins at the ready

Last time out I couldn't find any of the coin machines - just the card ones...

And I'd saved some coinage from the previous trip for this very purpose!

Ah well, at least it gave me the chance to practice my dodgy dutch at the counter, and the nice lady serving me was very appreciative of the fact that at least I'd tried!!!

But yes, as always, Boner's bang on the money - €3.80 (if you can find the machine - I couldn't!) or €4.30 from the nice people trying to help the stoned masses at the counter...
