AVOID Belgium’s WORST First Class Train!
Watch this video to see what might just be one of my worst train journeys ever! Filthy toilet, overcrowded carriage, and not even getting the First Class seat that I paid for.
In this video, we take Belgium Railways on one of their InterCity services from Brussels to Luxembourg. I reserved a First Class ticket for this journey. But as you’ll see, that IS NOT what I got!
You’ll join me as we start in the Belgium Capital and travel south east before entering one of Europe’s smallest countries, Luxembourg. Taking just under 3 hours to complete the less then 150 mile distance, which is rather slow for an Intercity train. Though as you see, speed was not one of my top concerns about this trip.
*Watch this video to avoid the mistakes I made!*
