Belgium to the Netherlands special offer

[Class45]

This may be of interest to some people. While planning a trip to Belgium on the SNCB website I found they are running a special offer, any station in Belgium to any station in the Netherlands for 19 euros. More info here https://www.b-europe.com/EN/Booking/Promotions/IC/ICOffer#TravelWish

MUST be booked at least 3 days before travel, but not tied to a specific train. Only use of the BeNeLux trains via Roosendaal or the belgian locals via Liege-Maastricht, thus not Thalys. Not before 9.00 mo-fr. Till late july-as there will be big repair works on the Moerdijk bridge in the route and thus no through trains from around 1/8 for 2-3 weeks. valid 1 day only, breaks along the route allowed.
can also book on b-europe for trips starting in NL, for foreign friends this is the better option due to less probs with payments CrCds and all that. Home print necessary!
For juniors<27: as usual, NMBS=Belgian railways also offers the Go_Unlimited Railpass 12//25 eur for 1 week//month, valid till last station before border (any direction), during july/august. For first use a MoBiB chipcard must be paid for-5 eur, valid 5 years, on which it is loaded.

Last year the €19 NL-BE fare was valid throughout August, and again in October, at least from NL.
I bought a print at home ticket from NS without any problems (Schiphol-Arlon).
Then another €10 just to cross the border from Arlon to Luxembourg!

Home print necessary!

Ticket on smartphone app also allowed.

 

[Groningen]

All is nice, but from the north of NL i arrive at 14.15 in Brussel. One should also use it to Roosendaal or Maastricht. Normal trainticket is more expensive than the 19 euro.
