 The dutch interpret article 1 of their constitutions as guaranteeing
 full access to participation in society. Both the rail system and the
 civic venues are fully accessible.

In both directions between BRU and Maastricht I had to change trains multiple times, and several of the stations required me to carry my luggage up and down non-trivial staircases. I wondered at the time how someone in a wheelchair or who had mobility difficulties could manage. I realize these stations were in Belgium, not the Netherlands, so perhaps this explains it.
