Sorry for posting in English. My Belgian mobile phone is a company one with BASE. BASE have 3 gaps between Gent and Brussels where there is no signal on line 50A. When SNCB did the experiment with WiFi on the Oostende / Eupen route, this worked for the entire journey over the same route. Partly this...

hallo, weet iemand hoeveel Eurostar class 373 stellen (E300) Eurostar al heeft laten slopen ? Blijkbaar zouden maar enkele treinstellen vernieuwd worden (interieur) zelfde als de E320 Velaro Siemens stellen Erwin Sorry for posting in English. There is a thread in the UK railway forum, http://www.wn...

Met mijn S8 heb ik vorige vrijdag in ieder geval precies dezelfde route genomen, dus dat lijkt hem inderdaad te zijn (veel alternatieven zullen er ook wel niet zijn). De route in de andere richting snap ik wel niet helemaal, heb je iets meer toelichting? Ik zie dat er in de richting Schuman-Noord e...

Sorry for posting in English. If anyone is interested, here is a GPS trace showing the route taken by P8600 this afternoon. An S8 from Brussels Nord also went the same way as far as I could tell. https://drive.google.com/open?id=10aIgA9dbJkxisSLtUNnaT11XZ8s&usp=sharing An S8 going towards Brusse...

Sorry for posting in English ... I have an NMBS MOBIB card with subscriptions for deLijn and MIVB. A while ago this stopped working at some MIVB stations. It worked fine at my local station going to Brussels Centraal in the morning but didn''t work at Brussels Centraal going back home in the evening...

Sorry for posting in English.

Yesterday (July 4th), ICT6901 (0730 Brussels Nord – De Panne) was 2138 + M4s.

Sorry for posting in English. 2744 + 2748 with a set of M6 coaches have been replacing a type 18 for several days now. Saturday May 13th, I saw them arriving at Brussels Airport on IC2310 (1046 Oostende - Brussels Airport via Kortrijk) and later at Brussels Midi on IC2835, 1356 Brussels Airport - Ge...

Waar gebeurt de loc wissel van de Benelux? Ik vermoed thv Schaarbeek? Sorry for replying in English. There is no locomotive change during the day on the Benelux this weekend. Southbound they take line 25 from Mechelen to just north of Vilvoorde then cross to line 27 then line 26/1 and turn off at K...

Brussels South/Midi is the most important interchange in the country, from there, you can get almost everywhere with maximum one change of trains. Alternatives such as Mons, Charleroi, Namur or Liège, don't have that. That line is also tediously slow. And there is an alternative from Brussels South...

Sorry for posting in English. Can anyone say something about the changed diversion route for the Thalys services to Germany? 2 weeks ago, the map on www.belgianrail.be was showing these as running via Namur, Charleroi-Sud, Mons and line 1/3. Now it is showing them as running via Brussel-Zuid includi...

Vandaag 4/3 bestond E3312 Binche - Antwerpen-Centraal uit een lang stel M4 + HLE27. Ik vermoed dat het om een van de stellen gaat die in de week ook op deze verbinding zitten, maar ik zag een en ander uit de hoogte en kon dus niets verifiëren. Als extra capaciteit kan dit tellen: normaal gezien rij...

Klopt volledig, de Benelux zal dus zo mee integreren met de IC direct. Dus moet elke reiziger België - Schiphol/Amsterdam ook een IC-diret toeslag betalen, wat dus zal leiden tot prijsverhogingen van de internationale tickets? Sorry for posting in English but ... There's already no toeslag on ICD f...

Sorry for posting in English ... For a large loco, you may be better off with a main line steam special (assuming it's not too expensive for you - mostly more than 100 pounds although there are some cheaper). http://uksteam.info lists all the main line steam workings that are planned. There's a page...
