List Of Belgian Railway Services
This is an index of all passenger rail services operated in Belgium. Passenger rail services in Belgium are operated by NMBS/SNCB. The Belgian rail network is organised into three main domestic passenger train categories on the main lines, these are: *Intercity (IC) trains–An express, limited-stop service, often calling only at major railway stations; in some cases it has stops at all stations along part of the route. *Local (L) trains (Lokale treinen / trains Locaux)–A local service calling at all stations along the route. *Regional (S) trains–A suburban service calling at all stations along the route. To cater for the large number of commuter workers, especially into Brussels, complementary peak-hours trains run on mornings and late afternoons of working days, they are classified as P trains. The Brussels S Train service was added in December 2015 and took over a good deal of the L trains. S Trains were later also introduced to Antwerp, Liège, Gent and Charleroi. Inte ...
