Am keen to know if anyone can help me with the actual arrival time of the Amsterdam-Brussels-Lille-London St. Pancras service on
February 25th 2026. This service supposedly departed Brussels over an hour late and Im trying to obtain its arrival time in London.

This service was the 16:51 local time departure from Brussels that was due into St.Pancras at 17:57 local. The service as supposedly
delayed due to hitting livestock between Amsterdam/Brussels.

Train number was apparently 9147

(hope this is posted correctly-my first posting)

thx.

Did the service definitely run? RTT indicates that 9I47 was cancelled on 25 February.

Are you sure you weren't part of a mass hallucination? :lol:

Obviously something a bit dubious has occurred but sadly I'm all out of ideas as to how to find out the truth of the matter!

I’m retired now so I don’t have the benefit of Trust anymore, but A74 thanks for your help anyway.
I live in hope.

Treinposities.nl also reports it as +56, but I'm not sure if that's accurate for London, or just for Brussels. In any case, Eurostar's claim can't be correct.

what platform did it leave from?

could be they cancelled the Service that started at Amsterdam (that would have used Platform 3 at Brussels) and put you on 9I53 that leaves an hour later and originated in Brussels (using Platforms 1 or 2)

The service as supposedly delayed due to hitting livestock between Amsterdam/Brussels.
It didn't hit livestock according to the disruptions archive: https://www.rijdendetreinen.nl/en/d...y-25-2026-animal-on-the-track-rotterdam-breda

The above disruption is the only one I found relating to the high speed line around the time the 9147 was supposed to use it. Initially the cause was registred as "object on the tracks" which later changed to "animal on the tracks", in case of an actual collision it would have been registred as "collision with an animal"
Domestic services were cancelled or diverted, so it might be the 9147 was diverted via Roosendaal and therefore delayed in Brussels.

== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==

As ainsworth74 correctly pointed out 9147 was cancelled. We were herded onto 9153 out of BRU and after leaving BRU at 17:56 finally arrived into STP at 19:01 thereby missing out on eurostars 60min late penalty refund by 4 mins after some skilful driving no doubt.
Thanks to everyone for their input on here I gleaned the times from joining RTT but thanks guys for your help.

19:01 instead of 17:57 is still +64 in my book, so entitled to 25% compensation.

I think the booked arrival time was actually 1805 (at least going by RTT and today's timetable!).
What matters is the arrival time on the original reservation, which may be different than what the actual timetable turned out to be on the day. Was that 18:05?

RTT has 1805 as the GBTT time on 25/02/2026:

(Screenshot from RTT showing planned arrival time of 1805)

But yes I agree the key thing is what the expected time was on booking but I would be surprised if it was different. Always could be though! Stranger things have happened...

I was on this same train this Friday 3 March 2026, and can confirm that our itinerary (generated 20 October 2025) had an arrival time of 1757. I only noticed the arrival time had changed (to 1805) when boarding in Amsterdam.
