Buy a ticket from Brussels to Lille Flandres with the NMBS (Belgian), then to Calais with SNCF. Legolas Send a noteboard - 20/04/2010 11:30:37 PM
I have no idea what time you want to leave, but for instance, if you were leaving tomorrow morning, the schedule could look like this, according to the NMBS website:


07:08 departure Brussels Midi

08:04 arrival Tournai/Doornik


08:17 departure from Tournai to Lille Flandres

08:42 arrival in Lille


09:00 departure from Lille Flandres to Calais Ville

10:18 arrival Calais Ville

So a three hour journey with two changes of trains - there are also possibilities with more changes.

Calais Ville is in the city centre of Calais (address: Avenue Wilson 46, look it up on Google Maps or so), so you'll have to walk or take a bus to the port from there.



Edit: if you need more info or help, feel free to NB me, I can give you my cell number in case something goes wrong while in Belgium if you like

No, it is the Eurotunnel Shuttle. Eurostar is the passenger service. Tim - 20/04/2010 10:35:09 PM 782 Views
