Eurostar 'Any Belgian Station' Ticket Validity

[class387]

Is this ticket for one journey only? Or can I use it for any amount of journeys on the day of the Eurostar trip?

Asking because I have some time to kill before my Bruges train and would like to do some linear bashing, even if it is just between Brussels Nord-Central-Zuid.

It's for one journey only, connecting from Brussels.

It is not a ranger ticket.

Oh, ok. Are there any cheap travelcards for the Brussels stations then?

There is a Brussels Jump ticket, which gives travel in the Brussels area. It used to be a simple card ticket, but looking at https://www.stib-mivb.be/DiscoverBrussels.html?l=en it would appear it has been made more complicated since I last had one a couple of years ago.

However, I have never had a problem in breaking the journey as long as I am travelling towards Brussels South, for example starting in Liege and having an hour in Leuven on the way. I've also frequently travelled from Gent and not got off at South, but at Central, though thinking about it now this is probably dodgy.

Don't think I will risk it then. What is the most interesting type of traction you can get between Brussels and Bruges?

You might find the odd 21XX or 27XX on a P train. Other than that, it's fairly run of the mill. Depending on the time of day there might be a bit of freight around, but again the traction won't be hugely interesting.

If you just get a ticket to 'Brussels' rather than 'Any Belgian Station' it is valid for a connecting heavy rail journey anywhere in 'Zone Brussels', which is essentially the built up area of the city without further charge. Also, tickets are rarely checked inside this zone so you could potentially use the ticket again although this is clearly outside the terms and conditions....

There's a few double deckers about which is pretty exotic compared to what we are used to.
