10-11 January 2026: restricted itinerary in Belgium for EuroCity and Eurocity Direct.

Due to engineering works between Brussels and Antwerp, the itinerary of the EuroCity (Brussels-Rotterdam) and Eurocity Direct (Brussels-Amsterdam) will be restricted as follows on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 January 2026:

  • EuroCity trains will be diverted via Aarschot between Brussels and Antwerp, resulting in longer journey times. Consequently, they will only operate between Rotterdam and Bruxelles-Nord/Brussel-Noord (instead of Bruxelles-Midi/Brussel-Zuid). Between Bruxelles-Nord/Brussel-Noord and other Brussels stations, passengers can make use of other SNCB trains.
  • Eurocity Direct will operate between Amsterdam and Antwerp-Central (instead of Brussels). Between Antwerp and Brussels, passengers can make use of SNCB, which will follow an adapted schedule and/or itinerary.

Our journey planner already takes these changes into account.
