Bauarbeiten und Verkehrsmeldungen in EuropaBauarbeiten und Verkehrsmeldungen

Vom Samstag, 15. November, bis Dienstag, 9. Dezember 2025, werden Bauarbeiten in der Nähe von Brussels Airport-Zaventem durchgeführt. Während dieser Bauarbeiten wird das Zugangebot von und zum Flughafen stark eingeschränkt.

Due to engineering works between Vilvoorde and Kontich (Belgium), the itinerary of the EuroCity (Brussels-Rotterdam) and Eurocity Direct (Brussels-Amsterdam) will be restricted as follows on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 January 2026:

• EuroCity trains will be diverted via Aarschot between Brussels and Antwerp, resulting in longer journey times. Consequently, they will only operate between Rotterdam and Bruxelles-Nord/Brussel-Noord (instead of Bruxelles-Midi/Brussel-Zuid). Between Bruxelles-Nord/Brussel-Noord and other Brussels stations, passengers can make use of other SNCB trains.
• Eurocity Direct will operate between Amsterdam and Antwerp-Central (instead of Brussels). Between Antwerp and Brussels, passengers can make use of SNCB, which will follow an adapted schedule and/or itinerary.

Our journey planner already takes these changes into account.

Due to simultaneous engineering works on the Belgian and Dutch rail networks, the EuroCity (Brussels-Rotterdam) and Eurocity Direct (Brussels-Amsterdam) will be subject to the following route restrictions on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 January 2026:

EuroCity (Brussels-Rotterdam)

• will be diverted via Aarschot and Lier and will not serve Mechelen.
• most trains will operate from and to Bruxelles-Nord/Brussel-Noord instead of Bruxelles-Midi/Brussel-Zuid.

Eurocity Direct (Brussels-Amsterdam)

• will operate to/from Antwerpen-Centraal instead of Bruxelles-Midi/Brussel-Zuid (only trains 9523 and 9572 will depart from or continue to Bruxelles-Midi/Brussel-Zuid).
• will only operate between Antwerp and Rotterdam Centraal (instead of Amsterdam Zuid) on Saturday 17 January. On Sunday 18 January, it will operate between Antwerp and Amsterdam-Zuid.

Please check the adapted schedules a few days before you depart.

Due to planned engineering works between Mons and Quévy, most OUIGO trains connecting Brussels and Paris will be diverted via Nivelles and Erquelinnes on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 January 2026, resulting in longer journey times and no intermediate stop in Mons that weekend.

Please check the adapted schedules before you depart.
