Railway Stations In The Netherlands
There are currently 399 railway stations in the Netherlands including four which are used only during special events and one which serves the National Railway Museum only. NS Stations is the body which manages and owns all railway stations in the Netherlands. Categories Stations are divided into two categories based upon the service they receive. These are, in order of decreasing importance: * Intercity stations, where usually all trains (except, in some cases, international services) call. * The remaining stations, where only local trains (''Sprinters'') call. There are exceptions to this categorization. Some local trains – despite being called ''stoptreinen'' – do not stop at all stations: two examples are the services from Groningen to Roodeschool and from Tiel to Arnhem. On the route diagrams printed at the top of station departure sheets, intercity stations are indicated by the letters IC. ProRail classifies stations into five categories based upon the facilitie ...

23 April 2016 CS Arnhem
3 (three) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4, and is the smallest odd prime number and the only prime preceding a square number. It has religious or cultural significance in many societies. Evolution of the Arabic digit The use of three lines to denote the number 3 occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use. That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: ३. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in the 9th ...
