rendellers Posted 31 August , 2008 Share Posted 31 August , 2008 I went via Brussels last month on Eurostar as the ticket was valid for onward travel to any Belgium station. I must admit when I realised the geography I thought I had made a mistake and would investigate Iain's way. Possibly another of those time/money decisions!

Agh57 Posted 31 August , 2008 Share Posted 31 August , 2008 It's a bit of a treck from Brussels, when I did it a few years back it was around 3 hours from Brussels to Ypres. Can't fault the reliability of Belguim trains but they tend not to go that fast! As others have recomended I'd get off at Lille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rendellers Posted 31 August , 2008 Share Posted 31 August , 2008 train we caught was about an hour and a half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agh57 Posted 1 September , 2008 Share Posted 1 September , 2008 My memory is not what it once was or perhaps I caught a train that stopped everywhere! That said I'd still recommend going to Lille. The Ariane Hotel in Ypres will collect you for €70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
