Antwerp-Central's own line list gives IC 05 (Antwerp-Mechelen-Brussels-Nivelles-Charleroi on weekdays) among several overlapping Brussels-facing IC patterns, reflecting how dense this corridor is - one of the two busiest domestic pairs in the country alongside Brussels-Ghent.

Easy to get wrong
Several IC numbers converge on this stretch because it sits on the shared spine linking Brussels to both Antwerp and, further out, the Netherlands - a traveller only going as far as Antwerp does not need to check which of the onward lines (e.g. toward Breda/Rotterdam) a given departure continues to.
