DB has an IC Brussels-Lille listed today. Is that a new connection? Would it be usable with an Interrail pass? Strangely, neither SNCB nor SNCF list that train.
Answer
Intercity Brussels Lille

NS International also show this train Brussels-Lille so it looks very much like a data problem in MERITS. Maybe it will be solved by the Friday (early) morning update.
+8Seems like a mistake. That’s an ordinary TGV they probably programmed wrongly in the databases.
Reservation free IC routes Lille-Brussels go via Kortrijk/Courtrai or Tournai.
Figured out that it's likely a messed up entry in DB's system. There's a Eurostar with same departure and train number. Too bad.
+8The rail planners of Interrail/Eurail also had some issues with this lately. Some bad entries in the underlying MERITS system are probably the cause, if DB has this too.
