Take the train to Ghent

Trains to Ghent leave from St Pancras International. You’ll travel to Brussels with Eurostar and change to a local train to continue your journey.

Get to St Pancras International at our recommended arrival time to allow plenty of time to get through border controls and security. Once through security you can walk straight on board to your allocated seat.
