I am trying to reserve seats from Brussels - Midi to London St Pancras, but when I enter Brussels the list of stations there does not include Midi. It does allow me to book from Brussels - Centraal to London St Pancras, but it goes to Midi and then we have to change trains and I want to avoid that.

I know that others have booked from Midi - how do I get the computer to allow it please?

There's half a dozen websites where you can book this train. Which one are you using?

Usually using the local name will work, which is either Brussel-Zuid or Bruxelles-Midi. Exonymes are not guaranteed to be recognised. "Londres” or "Londen” won't find St Pancras either.

Thank you very much - I wasn’t specific enough - I’ve got an Interrail pass and am trying to reserve seats from Midi to St Pancras.

You still didn't mention which website (URL?) you are using to book. As I wrote, there are half a dozen or so you can use. Some recognise "Brussels”, but others will only recognise the local names.

Brussel-Zuid and Bruxelles-Midi, which are the official names in Dutch and French, should always work though.
