Please be aware that during the week of January 26, the TEC (Bus) and SNCB (Rail) networks will be impacted by several strike actions.


Rail services will be on strike from Sunday 25th January at 22:00 until Friday 30th January at 22:00.

The expected disruptions are not yet detailed, but SNCB will maintain a minimum service, and the specific trains that will not be running will only be announced a few days before the start of the strike.

The unions also have several strike notices for the coming weeks: 23rd and 26th January, 5th, 10th and 12th February 2026.

These could impact various public services including local schools, nurseries and waste collection.

Lastly, a national demonstration is scheduled on 12th March 2026 in Brussels. This will likely result in minimum services on the rail and bus networks and may impact local health services and wider public services.
