Benefits of travelling by railway
No immigration
No long Que
Only when you reached to your platform your tickets are been checked with your identity ( passport) and you are free to go. They also come inside the train for ticket checking.
Luggage storage is train is so spacious you have to store your luggage outside your seating area. They have made a space for luggage storage make sure you tie your luggage with the chain and lock we heard people saying luggage gets stolen from the train.
They also have one whole coach for pantry in the train where you can have a quick bite or beer or grab a coffee. They also have very nice seating area where you can enjoy outside view on running train.
After 2.5 hours we reached to Brussels central.
