It seemed that every day that I wanted to explore Bruxelles, the closest stop on the Métro was this…read moreone. So I ended up disembarking here a couple of times. It's a subway station, same as others. I didn't encounter the issues that others documented. It was clean and the signage was simple and there didn't seem to be any smell of urine. I'm guessing that either they've cleared it up, or I'm immune. Stairs from street level to ticketing level and more stairs from there to the platforms. There is also a pair of lifts.

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.

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.
