    [OC] Benelux passenger rail network 2026 in nine maps

    PDFs of the 9 maps can be found here: https://hilario.bambooradical.com/benelux/

    Made with Affinity Designer 2.

    These maps are quite info-dense, and are more aimed at non-locals who like to be info-dumped. (These maps are not aimed at the "general public".) The stacking of lines is less nice, but unstacking them would majorly increase the paper size needed, making overviewing of the lines much harder / requiring a lot more scrolling.

    The info shown are based on the current data from the NMBS-SNCB journey planner (which sometimes do not match those in the printed timetables). I can change the maps quite quickly if you tell me any typo / error that you see. I update these maps a few times during the year.

    dankjewel / merci beaucoup / thank you very much!

      Looks amazing. I’m personally not a fan of overlapping a stopping service directly over an express. Why did you make that decision other than to save space?

      Another example of how if it isn’t in the Flemish diamond, it just doesn’t exist. West-Flanders basically has trains to make sure people from Antwerp-Ghent-Brussels can get to the coast for a relaxing weekend.

      Yet people in Luxembourg, Namur, Limburg pay exactly the same taxes for a non-existant service. Where are the trains to Maastricht that don’t take 2 hours because they have to pass Liège. To Eindhoven from Lommel and Turnhout. From Namur to Charleville?
