direct, IC 01/12/14/18 pattern; the Leuven-Ans stretch rides HSL 2 at up to 300 km/h
IC
The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.
Status
Unlike the rest of Belgium's domestic IC network, this corridor genuinely uses dedicated high-speed track for part of the way: HSL 2 between Leuven and Ans (66.2 km, opened 2002, up to 300 km/h) carries both Eurostar/ICE and fast domestic SNCB Intercity workings, which is why this corridor - and only this one among the domestic pairs in this file - is tagged high_speed.

Easy to get wrong
Liege-Guillemins is also called by Eurostar (ex-Thalys, Paris-Brussels-Liege-Aachen-Cologne) and ICE services - a traveller booking a domestic-only IC ticket on this corridor is not automatically valid on those international trains even though they stop at the same platforms.

Hours
Four separate domestic IC lines reach Liege from Brussels (IC 01, 12, 14 weekdays, 18), so the effective frequency is higher than any single line's own timetable suggests on its own.
