InterCity Brussels - Amsterdam disappears
From 15 December 2024, the InterCity Brussels - Amsterdam will cease to run. Eurocity Direct and EuroCity will from then on operate the service between Belgium and the Netherlands.
Update 14/4, 10 am
Due to a strike, the rail service on the Belgian rail network will be limited from Monday 14 April (10 pm) to Tuesday 15 April 2025 included.
An alternative train service has been drawn up based on available train staff. Take this alternative train service into account if you need to take a domestic connection in Belgium before or after your international train journey, or if you need to take our regional trains shortly across the border (Roosendaal, Maastricht, Aachen, Luxembourg, Lille or Maubeuge). More details on this alternative train service are available on www.belgiantrain.be.
