Train from AMS - LUX
Hi Guys,
My Eurail contact is rather slow in response.... I would like to know if there are train connections from Amsterdam to Luxembourg.
It seems I could not google for this connection.
I think I would have to change train and there is no direct?
Any idea?

And forget about Eurail. Save some money and book yourself on the train companies' websites. Use www.b-europe.com if you want to go through Brussels. Going through Germany I assume that the already mentioned www.bahn.de could sell you tickets (but I'm not 100% sure for that route).
And I agree that overall, for planning only (i.e. not buying) bahn.de is the best choice.

I should have added - try www.captaintrain.com to buy tickets for most major rail companies in Europe. Also shows times

If you have time, take the (in my opinion) much more scenic route via Liege.
It would require taking a direct train to Maastricht, a change of traind to Liege, and another change of trains at the wonderfully Calatrava-designed station there to Luxembourg. The last ride, Liege-Luxembourg, is about as scenic as it gets in the whole area and well worth the bit slower travel time as opposed as going via Brussels.

My search for any Train Schedules is the following. Caution: read well at the link I provided. Every line and empty space should be filled. Here we go:

People indeed seem to be happy using them. Personally I don't use them because I have no need for an extra middle man (the train companies' websites work just fine for me) and because I have some issues with how they work and their website (not letting you do a search without creating an account first for instance, or refusing to look for tickets from Brussels unless I type "Bruxelles" - the main name of the city is "Brussel").

Unfortunately you're right; The train no longer runs to Singapore. In 1983 I was still able to take the [I]Rakyat Express[I] from Butterworth all the way to Singapore.
