Journey

59–85 min

EUR 3.00 against EUR 11.90 on the train, and the only direct way to Leuven at weekends, when the base rail timetable has no Leuven train.

It takes about an hour against the train's 13 minutes, and up to 85 in the morning peak.

The ticket is valid 60 minutes and the ride can take longer; De Lijn lets you finish the ride you are on, so a single bus is fine. Do not plan a change on the same ticket.

The last weekday bus is 21:17, well before the last train; on Saturday it is 22:18 and on Sunday 22:21.

Eight or more of you should buy one EUR 22 ten-ride card and scan it once per person.

The guides still name buses 651 and 652: De Lijn closed both on 6 January 2024. Line 91 from platform B is the bus.

EUR 15.00 on a weekday and EUR 12.60 at the weekend, the EUR 6.90 supplement inside both; the weekend discount never touches the supplement.

Half the weekday trains are the EC to Rotterdam and Amsterdam. NMBS's own product sheet lists EC among the domestic trains an ordinary ticket is valid on, so board it for Antwerp; you need an international ticket only beyond it.

Twice an hour on weekdays, hourly at weekends, and about 30 minutes either way.

Children under 12 travel free with you and pay no supplement.
