Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to buy and print a ticket online for the entire journey. On the basis of the various possibilities and combinations of prices, we advise you to do the following:

- Buy online and print your ticket for Maastricht – Brussels: click here and select “buy online/travelling in Europe” at the bottom left of the page.
- Buy your ticket online for Brussels – France or Brussels – Great Britain. Click here and select “buy online/travelling in Europe” at the bottom left of the page. You CANNOT print this ticket, it will be ready for you to collect at the station. Remember that you may have to wait some time when changing trains in Brussels.
b) You are leaving in three days’ time or later?
It is preferable to have your ticket sent by post. Click here to buy your ticket online, which you will receive by post.
PLEASE NOTE:
For Maastricht – London, NSHispeed advises you to allow for a longer time to change trains in Brussels due to security considerations. Experience has shown that the shorter travelling time recommended by Belgian Railways (click hier and select “timetables/international”) is more realistic. You can therefore follow the advice of Belgian Railways by taking a later train from Maastricht. After all, the Maastricht - Brussels service has no reserved seats. However, Brussels – London DOES require reserved seats. For this route, you must therefore take the train printed on your ticket.
All tickets referred to above can be bought without a supplement at the international ticket office at Maastricht Station.
