IC

Before you land

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

  • Hours

    Four overlapping IC lines connect these two cities directly, all confirmed on Bruges station's own service list; combined they give a direct departure roughly every 10-15 minutes for much of the day, denser than the same lines' own individual frequencies suggest.

  • Easy to get wrong

    Some of these lines terminate at Bruges while others continue on to Ostend, Knokke or Blankenberge on the coast - a traveller only wanting Bruges does not need to check the final destination on the departure board, any of them stops there.
