8 March (from 10 pm) to 11 March: alternative train service in Belgium8 March (from 10 pm) to 11 March: strike in Belgium

Due to announced strike, fewer trains will be operating on the Belgian rail network from Sunday 8 March (10 pm - CET) to Friday 11 March 2026 included.

An alternative train service will be drawn up based on available train staff. All details on this alternative train service will be available 24h in advance on www.belgiantrain.be.

Please take this alternative train service into account if you need to take a domestic connection in Belgium before or after an international train journey, or if you need to take our regional trains just across the border (Roosendaal, Maastricht, Aachen, Luxembourg, Lille or Maubeuge).

For the time being, we still don't know the possible impact of this strike on international trains (EuroCity, Eurocity Direct, TGV INOUI, Eurostar, OUIGO, ICE etc.). Please check this page regularly for further updates.

7 - 8 March 2026: EuroCity and Eurocity Direct only operating between Antwerp and the Netherlands

Due to major works at Bruxelles-Nord/Brussel-Noord, the EuroCity (Rotterdam) and Eurocity Direct (Amsterdam) will only run between the Netherlands and Antwerpen-Centraal (instead of Bruxelles-Midi/Brussel-Zuid) on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 March 2026.

Between Brussels and Antwerp, you can use NMBS trains, which will run according to a modified timetable.

Besides, EuroCity trains (Rotterdam) will exceptionally not be calling at Breda. There will be replacement buses between Noorderkempen and Breda.

7 - 8 March: ICE Brussels-Frankfurt to depart earlier from Brussels-Midi/Zuid and not calling at Brussels-Nord/Noord

Due to engineering works at Bruxelles-Nord/Brussel-Noord station, the ICE trains connecting Brussels with Frankfurt will be diverted from their usual itinerary in Brussels on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 March 2026. As a consequence, they will be following an adapted schedule:

  • ICE trains to Germany will depart a few minutes earlier from Bruxelles-Midi/Brussel-Zuid than initially scheduled
  • ICE trains in both directions will exceptionally not be calling at Bruxelles-Nord/Brussel-Noord

These changes are integrated in our journey planner.
