Good to Know
Note that these trains depart from Lille Flandres station and NOT from Lille Europe station.
You may have to change trains at Mouscron, despite joining a train that is apparently heading to Anvers via Gent.
These trains call first at Gent St-Pieters station (the main station in Gent) and then at Gent-Dampoort station.
This latter station is to the east of the heart of the city, closer to the city centre than St-Pieters.
