Hello everyone,

I’d like to travel from the UK to Germany on 21 December by Interrail. Since I’ve been quite late, I have only been able to get a seat reservation to Amsterdam, not to Brussels. (Strange booking system logics...)

The reservation is for the train leaving London St Pancras at 8:16. Since I want to continue on to Germany, changing in Brussels would save me a lot of time. Just to be sure: It should be possible to get off the train in Brussels at 11:12, rather than Amsterdam at 13:14, right?

Thank you all in advance!

Best,

amadeu

Yeah, no problem at all. The train to Amsterdam stops at a normal platform and so or so there is no ticket check on arrival. Just get off at the stop.

And yeah indeed strange that Amsterdam contingent was available but Brussels not… usually it is the opposite.

That shouldn't be a problem.

Normally, the reservations to Amsterdam sell out way before the ones to Brussels...

Or you can book to Rotterdam. It will save (a few) euro’s. Nothing much though.

Prices to Amsterdam and Rotterdam are exactly the same.
