    How can I see if my train is affected?

    Please search for your train using the SNCB/NS International Journey Planner. You can also check your journey via this travel planner shortly before departure.

    Any cancelled or disrupted services will be indicated in the results. We recommend that you check back regularly before you travel.

    Please be aware if your train is still running, it might be busier than usual because of the reduced service.

    To get more information about the disruption, please check the SNCB and NS websites.

  • WHEN RAIL GOES OFF THE RAILS…

    Disruptions happen, but they don’t need to stop your plans. If you still want to travel, but your train is cancelled, why not take the bus instead (or vice versa)?

    If there is an alternate mode of transport available for your route, it will show in the search results tabs on our website.
