Due to planned engineering works on the German rail network, the latest ICE train of the day in both directions between Brussels and Cologne will be cancelled on several days from June to October 2025.

This concerns: 

• ICE 319: Bruxelles-Midi/Brussel-Zuid 20:25 - Köln Hbf 22:21
• ICE 318: Köln Hbf 21:42 - Bruxelles-Midi/Brussel-Zuid 23:35

These trains will not operate between Brussels and Cologne on the following days:

• Monday 23, Thursday 26, Friday 27 and Saturday 28 June
• Monday 21, Thursday 24, Friday 25 and Saturday 26 July
• Monday 18, Thursday 21, Friday 22 and Saturday 23 August
• Monday 15, Thursday 18, Friday 19 and Saturday 20 September
• Monday 13, Thursday 16, Friday 17 and Saturday 18 October

Ab dem 27. Juni 2025 hält der European Sleeper in Berlin Zoo und Berlin Ost, aber nicht mehr in Berlin Hauptbahnhof auf seiner Strecke nach Prag.

Auf der Rückfahrt von Prag nach Belgien hält der European Sleeper immer noch in Berlin Ost (Abfahrtsbahnhof) und Berlin Hauptbahnhof.

Due to planned engineering works, the Eurocity Direct (Brussels-Amsterdam) will only operate between Bruxelles-Midi/Brussel-Zuid and Rotterdam Central on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 July 2025 included.

Passengers to Schiphol-Airport and Amsterdam can change trains in Breda or Rotterdam and use NS trains (Dutch Railways) to their final destination with their current ticket.

In the opposite direction, passengers from Amsterdam and Schiphol-Airport can use other trains to Rotterdam or Breda, where they can board on the Intercity train to Brussels.

Please check the adapted schedules before you depart.

Due to planned engineering works between Halle and Braine-le-Comte, the OUIGO service between Brussels and Paris will be diverted via Nivelles and Erquelinnes on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 July 2025, resulting in longer journey times and no intermediate stop in Mons that weekend.

Please check the adapted schedules before you depart.

Due to planned engineering works on the dutch rail network, the EuroCity (Brussels-Rotterdam) and Eurocity Direct (Brussels-Amsterdam) services will be restricted as follows on Tuesday 29 July and Wednesday 30 July: 

• EuroCity: will only operate between Brussels and Breda (instead of Rotterdam).
• Eurocity Direct: the latest 4 evening trains from Brussels to Amsterdam Zuid will terminate in Rotterdam, while the latest 3 evening trains from the Netherlands to Brussels will depart from Rotterdam (instead of Amsterdam Zuid).

Between Breda or Rotterdam and their departure or arrival station in the Netherlands, passengers can make use of other trains operated by NS.

Due to engineering works on the rail network, the EuroCity (Brussels-Rotterdam) and Eurocity Direct (Brussels-Amsterdam) will be diverted via Roosendaal. Consequently,

• EuroCity trains will only operate between Brussels and Breda (instead of Rotterdam) and will not serve the station of Noorderkempen. From Breda onwards, passengers can use other NS trains to their final destination.
• Eurocity Direct will operate between Brussels and Amsterdam-Zuid following an adapted schedule.

Due to planned engineering works on the Belgian rail network, ICE trains connecting Brussels to Cologne and Frankfurt will be diverted from their usual itinerary from Saturday 2 August to Sunday 17 August 2025.

This will result in longer journey times. As a consequence, most ICE trains from Brussels to Germany will terminate in Cologne and ICE trains from Germany to Brussels will depart from Cologne.

Between Cologne and Frankfurt, passengers can use other trains operated by Deutsche Bahn.

From Saturday 16 to Sunday 31 August 2025 inclusive, engineering works are planned on the high-speed line between Brussels and the French border. During these works, Eurostar and TGV INOUI trains will be diverted via an alternative route, resulting in longer journey times.

Our journey planner, booking system and ticket details already takes these changes into account.
