Yes. Delays are within normal range across the eight stations we sample (5% of departures six minutes or more late), with 12 routine notices open about engineering work and minor incidents.
A strike shows up here as announced disruption on most or all lines at once, and it is listed on our strikes and disruptions page with the union action behind it. National rail strikes in Belgium are normally announced several days ahead and run from 22:00 the evening before to 22:00 on the strike day.
This page samples departures at Brussels-Central, Brussels-Midi, Antwerp, Ghent, Liège, Charleroi, Leuven and Bruges. For one specific train, use the SNCB app or the station board — we deliberately do not try to be a journey planner.
SNCB compensates from 60 minutes of delay: 50% of the single fare, or 25% if you had a season ticket, claimed within a set window. Repeated shorter delays on a season ticket can also qualify. Claims go to SNCB, not to us.
Six minutes or more. That is the threshold SNCB uses in its own punctuality reporting, so the number here can be compared with theirs rather than arguing with them.
A national action closes most of the network rather than delaying it, and it is announced days ahead. Those are on our strikes and disruptions page, together with bus, tram, school and flight action and reports from readers on the ground.
Live data from iRail, the open API over SNCB/NMBS data. Departure counts are a sample of eight stations, not the whole network. For a specific journey, always check SNCB.
