12 - 13 September: changed itinerary for the Eurocity Direct

Due to planned engineering works, the Eurocity Direct (Brussels-Amsterdam) will exceptionally terminate at Amsterdam Central station instead of Amsterdam Zuid on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 September 2026. Only the latest 4 evening trains will arrive at Amsterdam Zuid.

In the opposite direction (to Brussels), the 4 earliest morning services of Eurocity Direct will depart from Amsterdam Zuid. The next trains will depart from Amsterdam Central.

Moreover, it will be diverted from their usual itinerary between Rotterdam and Amsterdam and will therefore not serve Schiphol Airport. Between Rotterdam and Schiphol Airport, passengers can use domestic trains operated by NS.

The timetables shown by our journey planner take these changes into account.
