1. General

Grenstreinbus.be is a private initiative which is maintained on a voluntary basis. Its objective is to inform (potential) train and bus passengers about journeys with a cross-border train or public bus service.

Firstly, we offer you an overview of InterCity and regional (L/RE) trains between Belgium and its neighbouring countries The Netherlands, Luxembourg, France and Germany. 4 different train companies provide the service: NMBS/SNCB, NS, CFL and SNCF.

Secondly, you can find here the most important public bus services between Belgium and its neighbouring countries. Between Belgium and The Netherlands, we have identified 25 cross-border routes operated by 5 bus companies: De Lijn, TEC, Connexxion, Hermes and Arriva. Between Belgium and France, there are 13 cross-border routes provided by 7 bus companies: De Lijn, TEC, DK'BUS, Ilévia, Transvilles, Stibus and RDTA. We also mention a few bus services which are not strictly cross-border, but worth including because their starting point is within a few metres of the border. Between Belgium and Germany, there are 2 cross-border routes operated by TEC, ASEAG and DB Rheinlandbus. Between Belgium and Luxembourg, we show 3 routes operated by RGTR and 1 TEC route.

All the listed trains and buses are public transport. That means you cannot reserve a seat or 'book' a particular train or bus. With your ticket, you can take any train or bus on that particular service according to the conditions of your ticket. Our overview contains only trains which run each day at least 1x per hour in both directions (except the InterCity service Liège-Luxembourg). For buses we generally mention the most frequent services.

2. Trains between Belgium and The Netherlands

6. Which ticket do I need for a train between Belgium and a neighbouring country?

For the Belgian part of the journey, you can travel with a NMBS/SNCB ticket ('Go Pass 10', 'Rail Pass', 'Seniors ticket', 'Weekend ticket', 'Standard ticket', ...) between your departure station in Belgium and the last Belgian station before the border (Essen, Visé, Hergenrath, Gouvy, Arlon, Moeskroen/Mouscron or Froyennes), provided that you also have a valid international ticket between this Belgian station and your foreign destination. You can buy the international ticket from NMBS/SNCB International.

The computer system of NMBS/SNCB International will ask you to select an exact time and train. That is however not binding. You can take any IC or local train you wish on the route concerned.

For example: if you travel with a 'Go Pass 10' or 'Rail Pass' and you like to travel from Brugge to Nijmegen, then you fill in Brugge–Essen on your 'Go Pass 10' or 'Rail Pass' and you buy an international ticket Essen–Nijmegen. Passengers from for example Gent-Sint-Pieters to Heerlen, fill in 'Gent–Visé' and buy an international ticket Visé-Heerlen. If you go from Leuven to Aachen, fill in 'Leuven–Hergenrath' and buy an international ticket Hergenrath–Aachen Hbf.

You can buy the domestic NMBS/SNCB tickets at the NMBS/SNCB ticket machines, online via the NMBS/SNCB website, with your smartphone through the NMBS/SNCB app and at the ticket counter in many railway stations.

The Dutch OV-chipkaart is not valid between Brussel-Zuid/Bruxelles-Midi and Roosendaal, nor between Liège-Guillemins and Eijsden. Passengers who travel from Eijsden or Maastricht Randwyck to Maastricht can of course use the OV-chipkaart as well as passengers on the IC Brussels-Amsterdam service, between Roosendaal and Amsterdam Centraal station.

Travellers must always have a valid ticket before boarding the train. However on NMBS/SNCB trains you can buy a ticket from the train manager on the condition that you inform the train manager before you board the train. Please be aware that you will pay €7.00 extra. On the IC Brussel-Amsterdam services you will get a fine of at least €50.00 for buying a ticket on the train.

6.1. Go Pass 1 Roosendaal / Maastricht / Aachen

For travellers under 26 years old, there's a special offer. 'Go Pass 1 Roosendaal': a single journey between any station in Belgium to/from Roosendaal. Price: €8.20. You can also buy the 'Go Pass 1 Maastricht' (same price) and 'Go Pass 1 Aachen' (€8.30). You can buy these tickets by the methods mentioned above. There are also NMBS/SNCB ticket machines at Roosendaal and Maastricht stations.

6.2. Go Unlimited

During the Belgian school holidays, young people under 26 years old can travel very cheaply in Belgium. The only thing you need, is a personal MOBIB card and the product 'Go Unlimited' loaded on your MOBIB card. Youngsters who want to go to The Netherlands, can travel with the 'Go Unlimited' to Brugge, Sint-Niklaas, Turnhout, Hasselt, Genk or Tongeren. From all of those Belgian cities there are De Lijn buses to The Netherlands. Turnhout in particular is interesting, because there you have three cross-border De Lijn bus services: 430 to Reusel bus station (with a connecting bus 319 of Bravo (Hermes) to Eindhoven station NS), 450 to Tilburg station NS (direct connection between a NMBS/SCNB station and a NS station) and 460 to Baarle-Nassau Sint Janstraat (Busstation). If you buy a 'Lijnkaart' beforehand, you only pay €1.60 for your journey with De Lijn. This Lijnkaart is also availble in all NMBS/SNCB stations with a ticket counter. In The Netherlands you may be able to travel with an economical NS day card, available in the Dutch stores of Kruidvat, Albert Heijn, Hema or Blokker. To see the current offers, visit Treinreiziger.nl (in Dutch).

6.3. Seniors ticket

People aged 65 and older can buy the 'Seniors ticket Roosendaal': €10.10 for a return journey between a Belgian railway station and Roosendaal (outward and return journey on the same day). Note that from Monday to Friday these tickets are valid from 09:00, and during the Belgian summer holiday they are not valid on Saturday, Sunday and public holidays. Similar tickets: 'Seniors ticket Maastricht' (€10.10) and 'Seniors ticket Aachen' (€10.30). You can buy this ticket by the methods mentioned above.

6.4. Lille-Flandres Cross-border Ticket

For travellers to Lille-Flandres, NMBS/SNCB and SNCF offer the useful ticket 'Lille-Flandres Cross-border Adult Ticket': €5.20 for a single trip between Kortrijk/Moeskroen and Lille-Flandres or between Tournai/Froyennes and Lille-Flandres. For children up to 11 years included, this ticket costs only €4.30. With Lille-Flandres Cross-border Adult/Child Ticket you can also go to French intermediate stations. Note that this ticket is only available at the following stations: Kortrijk, Moeskroen/Mouscron, Tournai and Lille-Flandres (at the ticket office and the ticket machines), also Herseaux and Froyennes (only at the ticket machine). It is not available online. You choose a ticket for either Kortrijk–Lille or Tournai–Lille. You can only make the return journey by the chosen route. For example, if you go from Tournai to Lille, you cannot go back from Lille to Kortrijk.

6.5. Athus

The regional CFL train from Athus to Luxembourg is very useful for anyone wanting to travel very cheaply to Luxembourg. CFL counts Athus, the south-easternmost Belgian station, as a CFL station and doesn't charge international rates. You can buy a 'Dagesbilljee' ('Day ticket' of €5.00, valid a whole day on the CFL network) or a 'Kuerzzäitbilljee' ('Short time ticket' of €3.00, valid two hours on the CFL network), from the CFL train manager.

6.6. Travelling with a bicycle

It's possible to travel with your bike in the above mentioned cross-border trains as long as there is room and you have a valid ticket for your bike. Before boarding the train, you must inform the train manager that you want to travel with your bike. Depending on the train type, the train manager will open a separate compartment where you can store your bike or he/she will show where you can put the bike in the passenger accommodation.

NMBS/SNCB offers a 'Bike ticket' which costs €4.00: a single journey for your bike between two Belgian railway stations or Roosendaal, Maastricht or Aachen. It's preferable to avoid peak travel times. Please read the information on the NMBS/SNCB website carefully. You can also find the terms and conditions for carrying your bike there. Please note that it's not possible to load or unload a bike in Brussel-Centraal/Bruxelles-Central, Brussel-Congres/Bruxelles-Congres and Brussel-Kapellekerk/Bruxelles-Chapelle. You can buy the bike tickets by the methods mentioned above.

6.7. Travelling with children

With NMBS/SNCB, children under 12 years old can travel free. For every paying passenger (aged 12 and over), 4 children under 12 can travel free of charge. There is no additional ticket needed. Your own ticket is valid for the child(ren). You must travel together with the child(ren). This regulation also applies for the L trains Antwerp–Roosendaal, Liège–Maastricht and Spa–Aachen and for the IC train Brussels/Arlon–Luxembourg.

There are specific conditions for the Intercity Brussels–Amsterdam service. Children 3 years and younger travel free but will need to sit on the lap of the adult. A child from 4 years old accompanied by an adult can travel for €2.50 per one-way trip.

For IC services Kortrijk–Lille and Tournai–Lille, you can buy a 'Trampoline 1 day ticket' for children which costs €4.00.

On domestic CFL trains, including trains between Athus and Luxembourg and stopping trains Arlon–Luxembourg, CFL conditions apply, so children up to 12 years can travel free.

Children up to 3 years travel free on domestic SNCF services, on the lap of the paying adult. Children between 4 and 12 years can travel for a reduced price.

7. Accessibility
