NATIONAL RAILWAY COMPANY OF BELGIUM – NMBS/SNCB: REVIEW

Parichay MehtaOctober 8, 2018


NMBS/SNCB is the National Railway Company of Belgium. It operates trains inside
Belgium & few international routes as well. It is a great option to move around
Belgium as it is pocket-friendly & fast.

My review is based on following routes:

1. Brussels – Bruges – Brussels
2. Brussels – Ghent – Brussels


COST

Compared to many other European train operators, NMBS/SNCB offers tickets at
much lower cost. In most of the regional trains, seat reservations are not
required as well. The cost of tickets & even seat reservations (where it is
mandatory), is quite reasonable.


PUNCTUALITY

Most trains we took were quite punctual. Trains never got delayed for a long
time. The most it got delayed for us, was about 15 minutes. It is quite reliable
while planning. Also, on all the train platforms, you will find a timetable of
almost all routes which can also help you find the next trains quickly.


COMFORT

NMBS/SNCB trains are comfortable. It is definitely not comparable to Thalys,
SNCF or Renfe for that matter, but stay assured that your journey is going to be
comfortable & nice. The only frustrating thing on most trains of NMBS/SNCB is
that its windows are not very clean which makes the journey blah because even if
there are nice vistas outside, it is too difficult to enjoy it through the
heavily scratched glass.

FREQUENCY

On most popular routes, there are a lot of trains available but it is advisable
to plan your trips in advance to make sure you don’t miss out your trains.


SERVICES IN NMBS/SNCB

So we did not find many services on regional trains of NMBS/SNCB. However, that
was not an issue for us because all the routes inside Belgium are quite short
(30 minutes to 2 hours max). There are toilets, baggage racks in every coach.
The staff is very friendly as well.


LUGGAGE SPACE

There is enough luggage space available on most of the trains of NMBS/SNCB. It
is advisable to travel light if you are traveling during the tourist season
because on popular routes of Belgium, there is a lot of rush. If you travel
light, it will be easy for you to keep your luggage.

Book your NMBS/SNCB tickets from Rail Europe.
