Can any forum member say how this works in practice? I don't see how a NS e-ticket from Schiedam to (for example) Breda will work the barrier to exit the Metro at Schiedam. I would expect to need a separate RET ticket for Metro Hoek to Schiedam.The confirmation from Stena Line will tell you how to download your Dutch metro & train tickets: You do this by going to a special page on the Dutch Railways (NS) website, www.ns.nl/producten/en/coupon. You enter the code that Stena Line give you and enter the starting & end points of your NS journey. The starting point of your NS journey is the station where you get off the RET metro and get onto an NS train, so if your destination was Amsterdam (for example) you'd enter Schiedam Centrum to Amsterdam Centraal, if it was Utrecht you'd enter Rotterdam Alexander to Utrecht Centraal. You print out the ticket, or you can load it into the NS Travel Planner app and show on your smartphone. The barcode on this ticket will operate the NS & RET ticket gates at stations.
