In general, interruption of the journey is allowed within the validity period of the ticket. The period of validity on the Dutch part of the trip is always 1 day.
You cannot get around that with an OV-chipcard as you cannot load a ticket on your chipcard. Only way to avoid the 1 euro charge is buying an e-ticket.In general, yes you can break your journey. Please note that single use tickets cost €1 extra from a TVM unless you have an OV Chipkaart.
Nowadays there's NS Voordeel on some routes, which may offer up to 60% discount when booking in advance. Those tickets have time slots on them, but as long as your break of journey is short enough to allow complete the trip within the timeslot break of journey would still be possible.You're quite right tickets don't have times on them and by and large advances aren't a thing in the Netherlands. Also peak times don't apply to most singles, however there are subscription discounts and special offer tickets to which peak times very much apply, this depends on the offer being taken advantage of I believe.
Dal Voordeel is € 67,20 per year and can be cancelled after one month. The version using credit on the card is probably easiest from the UK.If peak = daluren / Dal. There's a subscription product that allows you to take advantage of off peak pricing that may be worth it. It's from memory surprisingly cheap.
Contactless works the same way as the OV-chipcard however, so any break of journey longer than 35 minutes means you'll start a new trip. So only with an e-ticket or disposable chipcard from the ticket machine a longer break of journey is possible without losing the "long distance discount" which the degressive fare gives you.within the last year NS accept contactless from your bank card, so you can avoid the 1€ that way
There's rather a minimum fare of €2.60 in 2nd and €4.42 in 1st class for distances up to 8 km.How much is the base fare per trip?
8 fare units, not km, it is.There's rather a minimum fare of €2.60 in 2nd and €4.42 in 1st class for distances up to 8 km.
With one exception: the Arriva routes from Leeuwarden and Groningen use the same fare system as NS uses. A somewhat hybrid version is used at the Amersfoort - Ede=Wageningen railway where a fixed fare for the first 8 kilometres is used and a kilometre-fare for anything above 8 km. For an overview of base- and kilometre-fares countrywide: https://wiki.ovinnederland.nl/wiki/OV-chipkaartFares for non-NS regional (tendered) rail, metro, tram and bus services are set by the relevant authorities and differ by region. These tariffs consist of a base fare, generally just over one euro, and a true kilometre fare of about 20 eurocents. Again, when transferring between train services, the base fare is omitted and the degressive long distance fare for NS trains continues to apply.
