Due to a strike in Belgium, the rail service on the Belgian rail network will be limited from Sunday 16 March (10 pm) to Monday 17 March 2025 included.
An alternative train service will be put in place depending on the available staff. More details about this alternative service will be available from Saturday 15 March on www.sncb.be.
For international trains (such as Eurostar, TGV INOUI, EuroCity, Eurocity Direct, ICE, OUIGO etc...), no consequences have been announced so far. We advise to check this page regularly for further updates.
Please take alternative service into account if you are travelling on our cross-border local trains to/from Lille, Maubeuge, Luxembourg, Roosendaal, Maastricht or Aachen or if you need to take a local connection in Belgium before or after your international journey.
From Monday 31 March 2025, high-speed trains will directly connect France and Italy again:
These routes had been interrupted in August 2023 after a landslide in the French Alps between St-Jean de Maurienne and Modane. After major repair works, they will be back in service in spring 2025.
