Train travel in the Netherlands
Later this month my wife and daughter are spending a fortnight in the Netherlands. Rather than hire a car, they have looked into the possibility of travelling by train but haven't been able to find any sort of reasonably priced rail card.
Has anyone got any tips?

Have you looked at the seat61 website? That would be my go-to for all train travel.

Railcards aren't really a thing in the Netherlands like they are in the UK, but the fares are relatively cheaper.
I use an OV Chipkaart (like an oyster card) to pay for trains in the Netherlands, which you can buy at major stations and then top up at ticket machines. In theory you could just use contactless cards to pay for travel, but I find acceptability of non-Dutch cards to be a bit mixed, fine in cities, not always completely 100% reliable elsewhere - although the railway should be fine.
