BRUSSELS AS A NIGHT TRAIN HUB

Last month on the 22nd October our sister organization “Back-on Track Belgium” gave a presentation in a Webinar as part of the EU regions & Cities week. They explained how up to 6 Night train services could provide useful links connecting many parts of East, West, North and Southern Europe. This would also provide better rail travel opportunities for UK residents with one simple change to & from Eurostar at Brussels.

NEW HOPE FOR SIMPLER TICKETING ?

The International Union of Railways (UIC) has announced it will introduce a new Open Sales and Distribution Model (OSDM) platform supplied by Hit Rail to replace their existing Price and Fare Information Storage (PRIFIS) international tariffs distribution tool in April 2021. We hope this might lead to simpler ticketing options, avoiding the need to often shop around several different sales outlets.
