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.
Employees of ProRail (railway infrastructure manager in the Netherlands) have submitted strike notices for 11, 13, 15, 18, 20 and 22 November
Each time, these actions will involve local strikes in a specific alternating region between 6am and 9am.
Tickets for the IC Brussels-Amsterdam at Flex fare are refundable free of charge and can be used flexibly on any IC train of the day. Exceptionally, Early Bird tickets for travel on 13 and 18 November can also be refunded free of charge or used flexibly on any IC train of the day.
Due to planned engineering works on the Dutch rail network, InterCity Netherlands trains will be diverted to an alternative route between Rotterdam and Amsterdam from Saturday 16 to Sunday 1 December 2024 inclusive. As a consequence, they will not call at Schiphol-Airport and the travel time will be slightly adjusted.
Passengers to Schiphol-Airport can change trains in Rotterdam and make use of other NS (Dutch railway) operated trains to Schiphol-Airport.
Please check the adapted schedules for your journey a few days before travel.
There are 3 options for travelling to Amsterdam. Whichever choice you make, Eurostar and the InterCity Netherlands will get you right to the heart of Amsterdam from Brussels-Midi, the main station in the Brussels area.
14 daily Eurostar trains provide a direct service in just 1 hour 50 minutes.
The 16 daily InterCity trains get you to Amsterdam in a little under 3 hours. With a Flex ticket, you can board the train of your choice and get on and off wherever you want along the line (13 stops), without requiring a seat reservation.
Upon your arrival at Amsterdam Central station (located in the very centre of the city), the wide array of different public transport lines on offer (underground, tram, bus or even train) means you can start your visit to the city with ease, or continue your journey on to other towns and cities. If you are feeling particularly active, you can take advantage of the central location of the station to get your trip to Amsterdam off to a good start using the most popular method of transport, the bike!
