Train+ makes the train even more attractive!

• Off-peak hours: boarding Monday to Friday from midnight to 6 a.m., from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and from 6 p.m. to midnight
• Peak hours: boarding departing Monday to Friday from 6.01am to 8.59am, and from 4.01pm to 5.59pm.
• Weekends (Saturday and Sunday): all-day boarding.
• Public holidays: all-day boarding.

If your journey is constituted of several connecting trains, it is the first leg of your journey that determines whether the “Off-peak” or “Anytime” fare applies.

You can choose between two validity periods:

• 1 month starting from the date of purchase (e.g. if you use the train for a limited period)
• 12 months (1 year) starting from the date of purchase (cheaper if you use the train on a more regular basis)

After Train+ expires (after 1 month or after 12 months), you can still purchase train tickets but you will no longer benefit from the exclusive Train+ discounts.

To continue benefiting from these discounts, simply renew Train+ for another 1 month or 12 months.

Please note that the benefits and discounts linked to Train+ may evolve throughout the validity of your Train+. The conditions applicable are those in effect at the time of travel.

No, Train+ is personal and non-transferable. The reduced-fare ticket must therefore be in the name of the Train+ holder.

However, you can perfectly buy tickets for several passengers at the same time, whether they are Train+ or not. Simply provide the details of each passenger (age category and, if applicable, the personal Train+ number of each other Train+ beneficiary). Our system will automatically apply the best fare for each passenger.

Yes, Train+ discounts are also valid on the Belgian part of SNCB-NMBS's cross-border trains to, from and via Luxembourg, Lille, Maubeuge, Aachen, Maastricht, Roosendaal and Breda.

What's more, as a holder of Train+, you get an off-peak discount on:

• the Belgian part of journeys to and from the Netherlands on EuroCity trains (discount only on the Flex fare)
• the Connection ticket for Belgian add-on journeys connecting with an international Eurostar, TGV INOUI, Eurocity Direct, OUIGO, ICE, Nightjet or European Sleeper train.

For international rail travel, please check the SNCB-NMBS International website.

The price of Train+ depends on the validity period you choose, on the traveller's age and on whether the traveller is entiled to preferential reimbursement or not:

In addition to the price of Train+, you will of course have to pay for your (discounted) tickets.

The savings you will make with Train+ will depend on several factors:

• your age (adult, young person or senior) and whether or not you are entitled to preferential reimbursement
• the distance of your journeys (the longer your journeys, the more advantageous Train+ will be, as with Train+ you will never pay more than a fixed capping. On the other hand, even for the shortest journeys, there is always a minimum price of €2.60 per ticket)
• whether you rather travel during peak or off-peak hours (or at weekends)
• your travel class on each journey (1st or 2nd class)

You can easily calculate your savings for each journey using our comparison tool.

Our comparison tool will also tell you after how many journeys Train+ will pay for itself. In some cases, Train+ already pays for itself from the very first journey.

• at our ticket desks and ticket machines, Train+ is available on your MoBIB card or in paper format (QR code)
• on the website or in the app, Train+ is available online and is immediately linked to your My SNCB-NMBS account.

Each time you purchase a train ticket, simply identify yourself as a Train+ holder:

• via the SNCB website and app: as you are logged in with your My SNCB-NMBS account, you are automatically recognised as a Train+ holder for the entire duration of your Train+ validity. We will therefore automatically show you the reduced fares to which you are entitled.
  
  
• at the ticket vending machines or ticket desks: when entering your passenger details, you can either:
  
  • scan your Train+ QR code (from your smartphone or from a printed version)
  • enter your Train+ number manually
  • present your MoBIB card (if Train+ was stored on your MoBIB card)

Online: yes

To buy your ticket on the website and in the app (with or without Train+), you must log in to your My SNCB-NMBS account anyway.

If you join Train+ online, Train+ will be linked to your account so you are automatically recognised each time you buy tickets and have immediate access to your reduced fares.

At the station: no

If you join Train+ and if you buy your tickets at the station (from ticket machines or at the ticket office), you do not need to use a My SNCB-NMBS account: Train+ will be issued to you in paper format (with a QR code) or on your MoBIB card.

Each time you buy a ticket from a ticket machine or ticket office, you must scan your QR code (or enter your Train+ number manually) or present your MoBIB card to access your reduced fares.

That said, even if you buy your tickets at the station, it's alaways a good idea to link Train+ to your My SNCB-NMBS account. That way, if you lose your MoBIB card or QR code, you can still retrieve your Train+ data from your account.

Yes, of course!

If you have a My SNCB-NMBS account (if not, create it for free), you can link Train+ to your account at any time by scanning your Train+ QR code or entering your Train+ number manually. 

This will allow you to purchase discounted tickets at any time on the website and via the app.

What's more, by linking Train+ to your My SNCB-NMBS account, you can always retrieve your Train+ data via your account if you lose your QR code or MoBIB card.

Depending on whether it was created online or at the station, your Train+ number can come in two different formats:

• 123456789101 (a sequence of 12 digits)
• AC-KQ20CX87Q (an alphanumeric sequence of 9 characters preceded by ‘AC-’)

And of course, it also comes in the form of a QR code, which is easy to scan in the app, at ticket machines or at ticket offices.

No. Train+ is non-transferable and non-exchangeable.

However, if you purchased Train+ online, you have a 14-day legal right of withdrawal via our customer service department (provided you haven't used Train+ at all).
