Weekend Ticket for Travel within Belgium

Hi Everyone,

We are going to Brussels for a weekend. We would like to take a day trip to Bruges on the Sunday.

I have been reading on the Belgian rail website that there are 50% discount tickets available for weekend but I just have 2 questions the answers to which I cannot find on that website:-

1. Do we have to buy our weekend tickets online or can we buy Gare du Midi?

2. Can we use the weekend ticket for same day travel or must we leave and return on separate weekend days?

Many Thanks!

HI

On the site it says :

%26#39;%26#39;You decide what day you want to leave on (Friday after 19.01, Saturday or Sunday) and you return when you want on the Frinday (after 19.01), Saturday or Sunday of the same weekend. %26#39;%26#39;

Also

%26#39;%26#39;In addition, you can return from a station other than the one where your outward journey ended, as long as you mention this when you%26#39;re buying your ticket. (only possible for Weekend tickets purchased in a station and on the train). %26#39;%26#39;

so yes you can buy it in the station.

Have fun in Brussels and Bruges!

Thanks - I saw that on the website...so that means we can depart and return on the same day - it can be used any day on the weekend after 19.01 on Fridays.

Many thanks for your reply!
