Hi,
I boarded a Belgium IC train today with my eurail pass to travel one stop (4 mins). We boarded a minute before the departure time.
After boarding a very angry lady came up to us and told us we couldn’t board the train when it’s departing. The doors were open and it took a minute before the doors shut when we got on.
She said we’d be fined for this, but couldn’t explain when we can and can’t board when the doors are open. Does anyone know what the rules are here?
Additionally, she said I couldn’t travel with my Eurail youth pass on Belgium trains. I explained I was 27 years old, and she said that doesn’t apply in Belgium and only 25 years old or younger are allowed to use the eurail youth pass in Belgium.
She told me I could be fined for that, and that I need to contact Eurail to get an explanation why they sell these for Belgium trains. Can anyone here provide clarity on why eurail sells youth passes advertising they’re for 27 and under if they’re not allowed in Belgium?
Thanks,
\- Dylan
