Possible security checks at Brussels-Midi, Antwerp-Central and Liège-Guillemins.

Since July 2017, security checks for passengers travelling on high-speed trains (Thalys, TGV® or ICE) have been introduced in the train stations of Brussels-Midi, Antwerp-Central and Liège-Guillemins. Part of a series of measures implemented by the government, these checks are non-systematic and non-permanent and are carried out by authorised security personnel.

Taking into account that you may be subject to the above mentioned security checks, we ask that Thalys, TGV® and ICE travellers anticipate a safe time margin and make their way to the platform sufficiently on time.

Travellers are also reminded that they must not be in possession of items that could endanger their fellow passengers.

Feel free to contact us for further information about your journey.

Direct trains Puurs-Antwerpen-Roosendaal as from 9 December 2018

In order to improve comfort for travellers, SNCB has renovated the trains that operate the S32 Puurs-Antwerp-Roosendaal connection. These trains have been homologated and are now authorized to operate on the Dutch railway network.

As from Sunday 9 December 2018, the S32 Puurs–Anvers-Roosendaal trains will therefore operate their complete route again. The transfer at the station of Essen will no longer be necessary.

* Unless expressly stated otherwise, all fares quoted are per person/per leg (VAT included) based on an online reservation for a 2nd class return from Brussels. Please note, terms and conditions apply.

Most international trains allow reservations to be made from 3 to 4 months before the date of departure (or from 6 months for Eurostar and ICE).
