3 - 4 October: itinerary restrictions for EuroCity and Eurocity Direct (diverted via Roosendaal)

Due to planned engineering works on the Dutch rail network, the EuroCity and Eurocity Direct trains will be diverted via Roosendaal on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 October 2026, resulting in the following itinerary restrictions:

EuroCity (Brussels-Rotterdam)

  • will operate between Brussels and Breda (instead of Rotterdam);
  • will be calling exceptionally at Roosendaal as well;
  • will not be calling at Brussels Airport-Zaventem.

Between Roosendaal / Breda and Rotterdam, EuroCity passengers can use domestic trains operated by NS.

Eurocity Direct (Brussels-Amsterdam)

  • will be diverted via Roosendaal (but without stop at Roosendaal), which will result in longer journey times;
  • most Eurocity Direct trains will operate between Brussels and Rotterdam (instead of Amsterdam Zuid)
    exceptions: 2 early trains (9516 and 9520) will depart from Amsterdam Zuid to Brussels and 2 evening trains (9575 en 9579) departing from Brussels will terminate in Amsterdam Zuid; 

Between Rotterdam and Schiphol Airport / Amsterdam, Eurocity Direct passengers can use domestic trains operated by NS.

The timetables shown in our journey planner already include these changes.

17 - 18 October: restricted itinerary for EuroCity and Eurocity Direct

Due to engineering works on the Belgian and Dutch railway networks, the EuroCity and Eurocity Direct will follow an adapted schedule and itinerary on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October 2026.

  • EuroCity trains (Brussels-Rotterdam) will not stop at Brussels Airport-Zaventem and Antwerpen-Centraal (but will have their usual stop at Antwerpen-Berchem), and will follow an adapted schedule.
  • Eurocity Direct trains will only operate between Antwerpen-Centraal and Amsterdam Zuid (except for early 9523 train that will depart from Brussels and the late 9572 train that will arrive in Brussels). Between Antwerp and Brussels, passengers can make use of SNCB trains, which will follow an adapted schedule and/or itinerary.

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

ICE trains for travel to/from Germany after 12 December will be bookable as of 14 October

Every year in mid-December, European rail companies simultaneously amend their train services, with adapted timetables taking effect more or less throughout Europe.

Reservations on Deutsche Bahn trains (including ICE services) for journeys to, from and within Germany from 13 December 2026 onwards will be possible from Wednesday 14 October.

Please note that Eurostar services connecting Paris, Brussels, Cologne and Dortmund after 13 December are already available for reservation.
