Eurostar from Brussels Midi: bag rules and boarding

Eurostar passengers to London check in through ticket gates, security, and passport control in the station's Channel Terminal, so leave extra time rather than arriving at the platform at the last minute. Eurostar sets no weight limit on luggage as long as you can safely lift and carry your own bags, which suits travellers with heavier cases. On routes to and from London, each piece may be up to 85cm long, while on other routes the limit is reduced to 75cm per piece. For trains to the Netherlands or Germany, expect possible security checks where tickets, ID, and luggage are inspected before you reach the platform.
