Trains from Brussels Airport to Eindhoven

Me and a few friends are going to Eindhoven in December and we are flying into Brussels is it easy to get a train from the airport to Eindhoven?

Takes 2h56 and you have to change twice at Bruxelles-Nord and Dordrecht, but it isn%26#39;t difficult as the first train leaves from below the airport, e.g.:

Dep. Bruxelles-Nat.-Aerop 12:04 (going to Gent St. Pieters)

Arr. Bruxelles-Nord 12:15

Dep. Bruxelles-Nord 12:24 (going to Amsterdam-Centraal)

Arr. Dordrecht 13:53

Dep. Dordrecht 14:01 (going to Venlo)

Arr. Eindhoven 15:00

Same every hour (on weekdays at least), i.e. always starting at 04 minutes past the hour.

So the 1st train is at midday?

Also how much will a single one way ticket to Eindhoven cost?

|||

No of course the first train isn%26#39;t at 12:04, it%26#39;s an EXAMPLE (e.g.!) which I took at random since you didn%26#39;t mention any particular time. As I also said, you can do the same journey starting at 4 minutes past each hour. As it happens the first train with these connections, every weekday, would be at 06:04.

Thank You very much for your help, its been a big help.

To add to the post above, you should be sure to buy your round trip ticket in Brussels.

I did the trip from Brussels to Eindhoven, but purchased one way. We found on our return that we could not buy the same trip back from Eindhoven and the next two trains we could take made us transfer an EXTRA time which was difficult since there were many of us with many bags to transfer on and off the trains and extra waiting between stations. The ticketing agent said the issue was something to the effect of they weren%26#39;t on the same system and didn%26#39;t sell the tickets from the bigger Brussels carrier (Thalys?) at the Eindhoven station and our only option for a trip with one less stop would be to wait more than two hours.
