An additional lunchtime ICE departure has increased the number of daily services to seven in each direction.

The additional daily service departs from Brussels South at 12.25, with intermediate stops at Liège Guillemins, Aachen Main Station, Cologne Main Station, Cologne-Bonn Airport and Frankfurt Airport. The journey time is 3h 6min.

The corresponding service from Germany will depart from Frankfurt Main Station at 12.29.

From April 28 there will also be an additional Sunday-only service departing from Frankfurt Main Station at 20.16 and Brussels South at 20.25. This service will operate until November.

“More than 1.2 million ICE passengers travelled between Frankfurt and Brussels last year. That’s a record and a reason for us to expand our offering,” says Mr Michael Peterson, chief marketing officer for DB Long Distance.
