Double-deck trains! Wheee!

In a nice big loading gauge. Very basic (and sometimes somewhat garish)

Yes, they were very spartan - even the intercity trains. Maybe it reflects
some sort of ascetic tendency in the Dutch character. Or maybe they put
crappy trains on the lines tourists use .

Gods, no.

They put the crappy trains on branch lines tourists definitely don't

You'll also find out that the much vaunted myth of perfect punctuality
and everything planned to connect with everything else is just that -
a myth.
