Background:
- First time in The Netherlands, I am going to study at Delft.
- My accommodation is located on Schiedam, just around the Schiedam Centrum, so I plan to journey with train from Schiphol Airport.
- I plan to bring one large suitcase, one small suitcase and a small-medium backpack.
- In addition to the baggage, I plan to bring along some used electronics (24" monitor + a printer). Probably in their original carton box package.
Note:
(#1 The uni provides free shuttle bus from Schiphol to Delft Campus, they will have a welcome session of some sort, but considering my luggage and the fact it's still quite far from Delft to Schiedam, I plan to leave my luggage in my Schiedam first before attending the welcome session).
(#4 I plan to hand carry them since the shipping cost would be higher than buying new ones in Netherlands, but I'm still mulling over it)
Question:
Would travelling with those luggage using train be possible?
After a bit if internet research and asking around it seems I should take the Intercity train from Schiphol to Schiedam (source: 9292.nl/en/journeyadvice/station-schiphol/station-schiedam-centrum/departure/2015-08-08T0846)
The problems I foresaw:
- These intercity trains do not have special luggage compartment. I have to hand carry all of my luggage during around 30-40 minutes journey.
- Overhead luggage racks are there, but they're small, I wouldn't be able fit my luggage.
- I will be traveling at 9-10 AM on Monday, standing near the door with my luggage is okay but I am not sure if it's a good idea to travel with that much of luggage while it's near peak hours (crowded. That might disturb other passenger).
I am looking for inputs (especially from the Dutch people), please tell me if I miss something important. :)
Thanks!
