The locker signs are so difficult to find. If you enter the main entrance (ground floor or floor…read more0). The lockers are one floor below the ground floor (floor -1). If you walk down the stairs, they are behind the stairs. There is no small size. The middle size is only good for a backpacks. For carry on size luggage, you need at least a L size, which is 9 euro for L size. There are bigger sizes, which will cost more. The instructions are clearly stated in the locker room. No staff are there to help you. Credit card is accepted.

I have to be honest - if I was writing this review about the Belgian rails system as a whole I…read morewould likely give FIVE STARS - the prices are VERY affordable (£8 each way to Antwerp which is a 50 Minute ride - so I chose first class for £11 each way), I can buy the tickets using my U.K. Trainline App (which is why I list the prices in £'s), the trains all seem perfectly on time and are clean. The station itself could do with a little spring cleaning and an upgrade on the food offerings. I was alarmed to see FOUR soldiers in full gear all with semi-automatic rifles at the ready this morning at 11am (Sunday) - see pic - Yikes! Review 5 2019

Our three hour train ride from Brussels to Luxembourg left from this modern station. It's small and…read moreless busy compared to the main train station, but it's clean and easy to navigate. There are a few restaurants inside with basic food.

You don't have to haul your luggage up &/or down several flights of stairs. Alas the trains are rather less infrequent than central. But if your willing to leave a bit earlier then this is by far the better option. A lot quieter too. Because well duh it's not the main train station in town.

It's been an interesting experience over the past 3 years, seeing Schuman Metro station being…read moretransformed from a construction site full of concrete walls to the marble and polished looking place it is now. As of October 2015, you can see the lovely pale gold marble on both the stations' floors and walls and its beautiful structure emerging like a butterfly from its cocoon - there is still work to be done, buts it's getting there with its cathedral ceilings and gleaming lights. My fave station in the Brussels metro station still remains Stockel, with its Tintin cartoons, but Schuman reminds me a bit of Grand Central in NYC, which is maybe what indeed it was aiming for, considering it is the station stop for the EU institutions.

At first I was wondering why the area around the Brussels railway stations weren't all that dodgy,…read moreand then I got off at Brussels north and discovered why. Okay, this section of Brussels certainly isn't all that large, but there are a few bars around here, and you could say some other types of entertainment (like eating kebabs). However, yeah, this place is pretty sketchy, and probably not one of those places I would recommend visiting. Except of course that it is Europe, but yeah, I'd still be careful.

A train station that gets its job done! Not 5 stars because it ain't the GCT! However, clear…read moresignage, digital boards showing real time arrivals, and self serve ticket machines definitely put this station as one of my favorite commuting stations. If you want to buy tickets to a station within Belgium, you can use the self service ticket machine (card only). If you need to buy tickets to travel to a nearby Belgian city using cash, you will need to visit a ticket counter (typically counter 2). If you need to a buy a train ticket to a city outside of Belgium, you will need to go to a ticket counter (typically counter 5 and 6). This is the same one as the service center counter so many people have complex requests/issues to handle. Be prepared to wait in line. Give yourself plenty of time to purchase tickets and don't wait until the last minute! The train station (on the platform) itself isn't very clean... but at least it's better than Paris? Definitely not as clean as the one in Amsterdam. The train station is modest sized but still has shops for your chocolate craving, banking needs, etc.
