List of rural and interurban tramlines in The Netherlands is This is a list of all rural and interurban tramlines in the Netherlands by province. It includes all tram systems, past and present. It does not include the tramlines of the systems listed in the List of town tramway systems in the Netherlands. Many tram lines crossed the border of two provinces. In those cases the line is tabulated with the province where most of the line was. In case of doubt the line is tabulated in the province of the seat of the company.
