Lille-Tournai 22 January

[newmilton]

Hello all. I have a couple of days in Lille at the end of the month and am hoping to visit Tournai, which ought to be a short single-train journey from Lille Flandres, but the SNCF website is only showing 45' journeys with a change at Mouscron.

SNCB however show direct trains taking the usual 20' or so.

Any insights into this discrepency and what trains I might expect to run?

Many thanks.

DB suggests no change required. Perhaps SNCF doesn't show it because it's operated by the Belgian railways?

It's operated by SNCB/NMBS. It looks like there's a direct train every hour. The journey is 35 minutes.

Many thanks. I was sure I'd found those trains on the SNCF site in the past. I wondered if there had been a timetable change or whether there was some other disruption. Anyway, I've download the timetable booklet from SNCB.
