Ja, er komt gratis wifi in de stations :) Connecting to the service this morning while waiting for my train, I found this. https://www.belgiantrain.be/nl/support/faq/wifi/ Note that it is belgiantrain.be and not the usual belgianrail.be. Is this because it's still being tested or is it indeed an at...

Sorry for posting in English. Does anyone know about a WiFi network called FreeWifi-NmbsSncb? I saw this yesterday afternoon at Brussel-Centraal and this morning at Brussel-Zuid. When I saw it at Centraal yesterday afternoon, it wanted me to login using my "My NMBS" username and password which made ...

Weet iemand hoe het op dit moment zit met de omlopen van en naar Brussel Zuid? Rijden alle omlopen nu met Velaro e320 stellen of zijn er nog omlopen met de "oude" Eurostar stellen zoals de omlopen met een tussenstop in Ashford? Ik wil graag binnenkort weer richting L1 om een nieuwe fotoserie te mak...

Sorry for posting in English. What do NMBS have that can operate to Maubeuge? - Are AM96 allowed to work to Maubeuge via Jeumont? Are there any spare to work two round trips? - Are Desiro's approved to work in France yet? - Are 18s approved to work in France yet? I believe 1807 and 1862 are at Wilde...

Sorry for posting in English. What do people think of this story - http://www.brusselstimes.com/business/10827/namur-paris-train-service-to-be-ready-by-december ? "A train service between the capitals of Wallonia and France should be ready by December, according to Mobility Minister François Bellot,...

Sorry for posting in English. It is believed that the seats in the UK 'class 700' Desiros were specified by the UK government and not Siemens or the train operating company. Similarly uncomfortable seats were selected for other new trains in the UK built by Bombardier. They are generally compared to...

Sorry for posting in English. I see that P8218 and P8220 on Sundays 18th and 25th February and 4th March are shown non-stop from Mol to Leuven. The map in the belgianrail.be journey planner shows them running via line 15 and line 35 and does *not* show them running via Hasselt. Is line 35/1 availabl...

When Eurostar doesn't stop in Antwerp, does it (will it) run non-stop through Antwerpen Centraal or will it use Antwerpen-Oost?

Thanks

IC1911 today (Saturday) is 08124+08125 and not the usual type 21 + M4 stock.
Also cancelled after 10 minutes at Zuid - no driver was the reason given.
The next train in the diagram, IC3734, started from Zuid with 502+514.

Sorry for posting in English. Yesterday 3009+3010 went to be scrapped. These moves are normally timed overnight and there are not many pictures. Yesterday's run was over 4 hours late due to emergency engineering work ( http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/R02203/2018/01/19/advanced ) so there are m...

Sorry for posting in English. The trip overland from Thessaloniki that I mentioned earlier in this thread was because I left booking the flight back too late and a global interrail was cheaper and more interesting :) The journey out was a flight to Sofia. On the return, as well as the night on the t...

@Rian & @desperado: als hij langs 36/1 gaat komt hij toch niet in Diegem? Sorry for posting in English. The map on the public NMBS journey planner shows the route of 8900 as a series of straight lines from Mechelen to Muizen to Hofstade to Eppegem to Vilvoorde to Diegem to Zaventem to Nossegem to K...

Weet iemand wat er de volgende maanden in het weekend te gebeuren staat tussen Mechelen en Leuven? Vanaf volgend weekend tot begin april wordt de dienst bijna elk weekend verbust. Men gaat sporen, overwegen en wissels vernieuwen in de ruime omgeving van Haacht. Doen ze dat misschien alleen overdag?...

Sorry for posting in English. I did Thessaloniki->Belgrade on the overnight train in 2014 before the refugee crisis. - The boat would be more civilised and more comfortable. - There are no facilities on the train. Everything you want for the journey would have to be bought before departure. - There ...

The NMBS web site was not working for me this morning from either Firefox or Chrome. I could get the front page but as soon as I tried to follow a link or make a query it just hung.

It is still doing the same now.
