Can someone explain how the rail times on the mainsite website work? Take for instance this train from Paris to Amsterdam: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/-to-[/u]

Do the yellow icons on the left mean I need to get off and move to another train? If so what does the grey icon mean? Are the different departure and arrival times, times where it is just sitting in the station or are they actually separate trains? If they are separate trains does that mean I need to make 12 changes for that one trip? That seems ridiculously excessive.

Basically can someone just explain what the timetable means. A key on the timetable pages would be really useful.

yes, yellow ones mean that you have to walk from one train to another

no, grey ones it's just a decoration, show that train is moving, nothing important for you

if you still have doubts i propose you direct train: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/paris-to-amsterdam[/u]

Yeah I was thinking of probably going for that. 20-30 Euros doesn't seem like alot.
