For the first time, I have designed a supplement to the Monday-Friday and Weekend Belgium map. Piekuur-Trains (P-Trains) run, surprise, during rush hours on weekdays and on Sunday evenings. As they run completely differently to the regular lines, they are not shown on the basic network maps. However, the P-Trains are interesting for SNCB/NMBS connoisseurs: … Continue reading P-Trains in Belgium 2025
Rail Services in Belgium 2025
The timetable change in December 2024 brought few changes for Belgium, which have been taken into account in the update of the Belgium 2024 map: Many East-West Intercity lines through Brussels have been rearranged. This concerns lines IC-14, IC-20, IC-23A, IC-29 on the axes to Ghent, Hasselt and Liège. There are two trains per hour … Continue reading Rail Services in Belgium 2025
High-Speed Rail in France 2025

However, already in autumn 2023, the brands of Eurostar and Thalys have been merged. I have kept the colour yellow for Eurostar and former Thalys connections, because there are already two shades of blue … Continue reading High-Speed Rail in France 2024
Train Network of Belgium 2023
Belgium has joined my map collection, as I could not find a nice network train map anywhere. I wanted to create a map that covers both Belgiums long-distance and regional trains, because the stopping frequencies of the long-distance (Intercity) and regional trains (L and S) are similar in some regions. As the rail network is … Continue reading Train Network of Belgium 2023
