Trains run towards the Coast, including towards Blankenberge, the SNCB wrote on Twitter at around 7:30 am Sunday morning. She invites travelers to check the app and travel planner for any deletions and disruptions.
SNCB also asks travelers to follow the directives of the (local) authorities, “in this case those of Blankenberge / Knokke to check whether their destination is authorized “. Blankenberge announced on Saturday evening that day tourists would be banned from the territory for the day Sunday, following a general scuffle. The municipality of Ostend has for its part reiterated its call to SNCB not to deploy additional trains to the coast. The coastal municipality of Knokke-Heist has also decided to no longer allow day tourists on its territory until further notice. Controls will be put in place from Sunday which “will inevitably lead to traffic jams”, warns the town. The Belgians rushed to the Coast on Saturday in search of freshness as temperatures exceeded 35 ° C.
