Tools
Tool | Description |
| Live departures board at a Belgian train station — Belgian train times SNCB NMBS. Brussels Antwerp Ghent departures with train number, destination, scheduled time, delay in minutes, platform, and canceled flag. Set type to "arrival" for the arrivals board. Station names accept English exonyms and fuzzy input ("Brussels-South", "Antwerp-Central", "Liège-Guillemins"). Example: irail_liveboard({ station: "Brussels-South" }) |
| Plan a train journey between two Belgian stations — SNCB NMBS route planner with legs, transfers, live delays, and platforms per leg. Answers "next train from Brussels to Antwerp", "how do I get from Ghent to Liège by rail". Optional depart_at or arrive_by as ISO datetime ("2026-07-20T09:00") or time ("09:00"), interpreted in Belgian local time. Example: irail_journey({ from: "Brussels-South", to: "Antwerp-Central" }) |
| Track one Belgian train by its number — is my Belgian train delayed. All stops with scheduled vs actual times, per-stop delay in minutes, platforms, current delay, and live position. Accepts "IC 1832", "IC1832", or "BE.NMBS.IC1832". Train numbers come from irail_liveboard or irail_journey. Example: irail_train({ id: "IC1832" }) |
| Current disturbances, incidents, and planned works on the Belgian rail network (SNCB NMBS Infrabel) — strikes, track works, line closures affecting Belgian train service. Returns title, summary, type (planned or disturbance), link, and last-updated time. Example: irail_disturbances({}) |
