Michiel 2005's photos with the keyword: gates

Notice the two rollers for the chains of the bridge that used to be there.

Before the war a tramline used to pass through the Binnenhof. They used a special low tram to pass under the gates.

Dutch public transport is preparing itself for a new electronic ticket in the form of a card. It replaces the train ticket and the famous "strippenkaart" for bus, metro and tram. You have to use the card to gain access to the station and the platform. So long as the card is not in operation, the gates are open.
