Eurostar Will Stop Selling ‘Any Belgian Station’ Ticket
Eurostar has announced that it will stop selling ‘Any Belgian Station’ tickets from the 31st of March 2025, requiring passengers to buy a separate Belgian train ticket if they are connecting in Brussels onto a domestic service.
Eurostar to Belgium
When travelling with Eurostar from London to Belgium, or vice versa, it has always been possible to buy a ticket to “any Belgian station” if you are not travelling to or originating in Brussels but elsewhere in the country.
This ticket is a popular option not only among Britons heading to well-known Belgian tourist destinations such as Bruges, Ghent, or Ypres, but also among Belgians living outside the national capital.
For example, instead of paying €58 for a second-class Eurostar ticket from London St Pancras International to Brussels Midi/Zuid (Brussels South), you can select the “Brussels/any Belgian station” option, which offers a ticket for €72.10 valid for travel anywhere in Belgium.
Upon arriving at Brussels South station, you can take any domestic train to travel anywhere in Belgium, making it both a great deal and highly convenient.

If we select the same train but change the destination from Brussels to ‘Any Belgian Station,’ the ticket will cost €72.10. For just €14.10 more than the price of a standard Eurostar ticket to Brussels, we can now also use it to travel to any other station in Belgium upon arrival at Brussels South. ©AndyBTravels
Changes to the ‘Any Belgian Station’ ticket
From the 31st of March 2025, Eurostar will sadly stop selling the ‘Any Belgian Station’ ticket.
It is still possible to buy a Eurostar ‘Any Belgian Station’ ticket before the 31st of March, although the last possible travel date is the 14th of June 2025.
If you want to connect in Brussels from your Eurostar train to any other city or town in Belgium, you will now need to buy a separate ticket on the Belgian Railways website.

Downside
There will be a couple of obvious downsides to the disappearance of Eurostar’s ‘Any Belgian Station’ ticket, most notably that it is a customer-unfriendly move.
Taking away this small element of railway integration forces passengers to spend more of their valuable time researching and purchasing a separate ticket on what may be an unfamiliar website.
Moreover, in many cases, it could also mean you’ll end up paying more for your train ticket.
Let’s say you want to travel from London to Bruges, a journey you could previously make by buying the €14.10 “Any Belgian Station” add-on to the original Eurostar fare from London to Brussels.
Now, you would need to buy a separate one-way ticket from Brussels to Bruges, costing €17 on the Belgian Railways website.
In the grand scheme of things, this €2.90 price increase in the example of Bruges might not be the end of the world, but combined with the extra time spent purchasing an additional ticket and the loss of what was once a convenient option, it is rather annoying.

In the near future, you have to buy a separate ticket with the Belgian Railways if you want to connect in Brussels to another destination in Belgium, such as Bruges. ©AndyBTravels
Conclusion
Eurostar will stop selling “Any Belgian Station” tickets, which was a highly convenient way to connect in Brussels onto a domestic train service to other destinations in Belgium.
It’s not the first negative adjustment made by Eurostar in recent months, as the train company previously withdrew its Eurostar connection fare, which allowed free travel from Brussels South to any other station in the greater Brussels area.
It seems that Eurostar is determined to make life more difficult for rail travellers, rather than offering better integration and a more simplified fare structure!
