Is there a direct train from Schiphol to Delft?
Yes: Intercity trains that run from Amsterdam Zuid via Schiphol, Leiden and The Hague HS toward Dordrecht stop at Delft, so you can ride from the airport to Delft without changing, and NS’s hourly night train covers the same line after midnight. The catch is the last stretch into Delft’s old town with suitcases; a car from the arrivals hall is about 49 km, some 45 minutes without traffic, at about €168 in Business Class to your door.
