Cannot get seat reservation for Rotterdam - Antwerp Sat 22 April

Trying to book the ‘reservation needed’ leg (Rotterdam to Antwerp 9.58 train Sat 22 April 2023) of my Leiden to Bruges journey.  Eurail site says no reservations available and can’t get any further with later trains (won’t go to ‘Make Reservation’ option). Tried direct with Thalys, but they are not showing the 9.58 or indeed any other departures at all.  Are there alternative ways of finding out if indeed reservations are all taken, and what the alternative options might be? I’m a newbie (last interrailed in 1974) so just trying to work out the system… Thank you.

There's no pass holder seat availability anymore. But you can just use the reservation-free intercity service, leaving each hour at xx:11, and you've just saved €22 (€27 in first class).
