I once again would like to complain about the signage in Dutch NS trains. Since a few months, I've noticed that certain stations are not referred to using their official names. The next station on this line is called Ede-Wageningen. Among other things, this is the nearest train station to Wageningen University, which is a big draw to an international research community. Instead, the screens on the train just show the next station being "Ede". I wonder if people unfamiliar with the station who come here as an opponent for a PhD examination for instance, ever miss their stop as they are on the lookout for the 'Wageningen' part of the station name.
It's a small thing but for anxious people traveling in unknown regions, having shit like this happen doesn't help. I've definitely been confused and even missed my train by the annoying habits in Vienna metro for instance to give direction 'end station' in the app when planning, while on the trains and platforms they indicate the direction to a stop halfway down the line where lines diverge as most people don't require to travel beyond that point (or the other way around, it was confusing regardless, and the local security guard sending me to the wrong platform didn't help. Almost sent me north instead of south-west as intended) ... #NS #TrainLife #BahnBubble
