Middelburg lies on Walcheren, at the far end of the Zeeland railway that stops at Vlissingen. Intercities run from here via Roosendaal and Rotterdam to Amsterdam and, in a second series, via Breda and Nijmegen to Zwolle. The number of runs per hour is lower than in the Randstad, which makes a missed train count for more. At the station OVatlas shows which series leaves first.

The Connexxion bus network links Middelburg with Vlissingen, Veere, Domburg, Oostkapelle and, further out over the dams, with Zierikzee and Goeree-Overflakkee. A single route continues through the Westerschelde tunnel to Terneuzen and Ghent. Those routes are long and their stops lie far apart; the real position on the map then tells you more than a scheduled time in a printed timetable.

A ferry sails between Vlissingen and Breskens for pedestrians and cyclists, the only direct crossing of the Westerschelde that avoids the tunnel. That boat appears on OVatlas as a line with its sailing times, though it is not tracked as a moving marker; the bus or train carrying you to the ferry port is live, delay included. The same holds for the return leg: the connection at the ferry port is shown live.

Frequently asked questions

How often do trains run from Middelburg?

Middelburg sits on the Zeeland line, which ends at Vlissingen and runs via Roosendaal to Rotterdam and Amsterdam. The number of runs per hour is lower than in the Randstad; open the station on OVatlas for the next departures.

Can I reach the Walcheren coast by public transport?

Yes. Regional buses leave the station for Domburg, Oostkapelle, Veere and Vlissingen. They run more often in summer than outside it. Tap the stop on the map to see which bus is due in first and how late it is.

How do I cross the Westerschelde by public transport?

For pedestrians and cyclists a ferry sails between Vlissingen and Breskens; by bus the crossing goes through the Westerschelde tunnel towards Terneuzen. The map lists that ferry's sailing times as it would any line, though the boat itself is not tracked as a moving marker.

Is there a bus from Middelburg into Belgium?

There is, a regional route via Terneuzen to Ghent. Flemish operators do not always publish to the Dutch feeds, so beyond the border a run can drop out of view even though it is carrying on perfectly normally.
