The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.

  • Easy to get wrong

    IC 05 is documented from the Antwerp end as running all the way through Brussels to Nivelles and Charleroi as one working (weekdays) - a Brussels-boarding traveller is on the same train an Antwerp traveller started on, just further down the line.

  • Status

    Charleroi's main station has been renamed and rebuilt over the years (historically Charleroi-Sud) and is now generally referenced as Charleroi-Central in current SNCB material - a traveller working from an older guidebook or map may see the old name and wrongly think it is a different station.
