Groningen has three train stations, the central station (Station Groningen), Groningen Europapark and Groningen Noord. All trains eventually arrive at the central station; only a few trains stop at the smaller stations.
There are direct trains from Schiphol airport, Utrecht and Rotterdam to Groningen (2.5 hours) and Amsterdam Centraal can be reached with one change (2h20m). A regional line runs west to Leeuwarden.
There is an international connection that terminates in Leer Bahnhof (Germany). Once over the border, you can change line to reach Bremen, Hamburg and Hanover. Note that the train to Leer is very local (and therefore slow) and the train timetables don't match up well, so you can find yourself waiting for the best part of an hour for your ongoing connection.
