(Between the Netherlands and Brussels-Midi/Zuid, high-speed rail services, namely Thalys / Eurostar / ICE Liège – Brussels, are excluded.) Issued in combination with a Eurostar booking between Brussels-Midi/Zuid and Ashford / Ebbsfleet / London. The entire one-way journey has to be completed in one day; tickets are valid: a) on NS trains with a departure time before 04:00 the following day; b) on other trains in the Netherlands, and on NMBS/SNCB trains, until the last service of the operational day; c) on the specific Eurostar service stated in the booking. With the Eurostar website or app set to Nederland in the country settings, you can book a Connect Eurostar ticket by choosing Elk Nederlands Station 'Any Dutch Station' (ADS) and Ashford / Ebbsfleet / London as the origin/destination. Alternatively, from the NS International website or app, book a journey between the Netherlands and Ashford/Ebbsfleet/London, select an itinerary which satisfies the conditions above, and a Connect Eurostar ticket is usually offered.
