Two out of three IC trains will run on Monday despite the strike by the independent railway union Metisp-Protect, according to SNCB on Saturday. The strike will start on Sunday at 10 pm and continue until 30 March inclusive.
On Sunday evening, almost all P trains, which allow students to reach cities like Brussels, Louvain-la-Neuve, and Liège, will run normally. Most of these trains will depart and arrive before the strike starts and will therefore not be affected.
On Monday, two out of three IC trains and three out of five L/S trains will run. However, only one in five P trains, which usually run during morning and evening peak hours, will be operational.
SNCB advises travellers to plan their journeys carefully by regularly checking the online journey planner. From Sunday morning, the planner will show the alternative service for Monday, and it will be updated daily for the duration of the strike.
This strike is part of ongoing union actions in recent weeks protesting against the reform of the pension system for railway workers.
