Latest update: Wednesday 30 November, 10h25 am
Due to announced strike on the Belgian rail network, the train availability will be limited from Monday 28th November (10 pm) to Thursday 1st December 2022 included.
There are two consecutive strike actions:
On Wednesday 30/11 and Thursday 1/12, we expect a normal service for most international connections (including Thalys, Eurostar, ICE and the IC Brussels-Amsterdam trains), except for the following trains:
However, please take this possible alternative service into account if you are travelling on our local cross-border trains to/from Lille, Luxembourg, Roosendaal, Maastricht or Aachen or if you need to connect in Belgium before or after your international journey.
On Sunday 18 December, Infrabel is continuing the installation of the European Train Control System (ETCS) in the North-South Junction in Brussels.
As a consequence, train traffic in and around Brussels will be adjusted. This will also affect traffic to and from Brussels Airport-Zaventem.
These works are taking place in two separate phases. Until 10h00 am, only a few trains will be running to and from Brussels. After 10h00 am and until the end of the day, the traffic to, from and within Brussels will be adjusted.
Our journey planner is already taking these adjustments into account.
