Brussels Airport to Leuven Train Station

The trains depart from Brussels airport Zaventemon quite regularly to Leuven. It's takes 9 minutes to walk to the platform (3) with a train journey of 21 minutes. I had pre-purchased a SNCB (Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Belges) /NRCB (National Railway Company of Belgium) train ticket. With it being a weekend, they offered half-price travel for the day with a return trip from 7 p.m. Friday until Sunday available in 1st and 2d class to any destination in Belgium. 1st class carriages are marked with a yellow stripe above the windows and each carriage is marked with a one or two to signify which class it is. Leuven station is situated in the centre Leuven and is well laid out, with a steady stroll up Bondgenotenlaan towards Saint Peter's Church, the Grote Market and the Gothic town hall.

    Leuven Train Station
    An older station but clean and the train was on time to get us to the airport. A much lower standard of carriage than in Spain or China. The train got us to the airport in good time and was cheaper at 8.90 Euro than a taxi or Uber. Signs in English.

    Good
    It is a nice yet old station which was renovated a while ago, exposing old the old glamour which was previously hidden. The platform are covered by a big roof although the ends are not. There is a Starbucks inside. In front of the station as well as at the back is an underground car park. Bicycle parking also in front (underground), on the right (groundlevel under a building) and at the back. Several ticket vending machines but tickets and info can also be obtained at the ticket-offices. Good connecting trains to Brussels and to Brussels Airport (only 14 minutes!).
