In order to manage the capacity of our trains, we strongly advise you to buy your tickets in advance on our website.
These tickets do not reserve seats (our seats are not numbered) but guarantee you a seat on the train.
We advise you to arrive 15 to 30 minutes before the departure of the train in order to be able to choose your seats at your convenience.
Booking online gives you all the advantages! Safe, fast, cheaper (including fees) and always sure to have room on the trains!
For some special trains (Safari, Fête du Rail, Halloween, Saint Nicolas,…), reservation is mandatory.
-
Unless otherwise stated (Bocq Gourmands, Safari, Fête du Rail, Halloween, Saint Nicolas, etc.), bookings can be cancelled up to 24 hours before the start of the activity.
Customers may receive a ‘voucher’ for a new activity on Le Chemin de Fer du Bocq or a full refund (including booking fees).
Customers will also receive a full refund in the event of cancellation due to bad weather or other unforeseeable circumstances.
Under no circumstances will a no-show be refunded. -
You can check your spam. Have you entered your e-mail address correctly (typing error, different e-mail address, etc.) ?
If, despite this advice, you cannot find your ticket(s), please contact us : reservation@cfbocq.be -
The purchase of tickets online (including fees) is never more expensive than the purchase on site (when possible).
The booking fee (6% with a minimum of 1.00€ per transaction) covers the costs of running the booking website. -
Our trains date from the 1930s to 1980s, when access to transport for PRMs was not as well developed as it is today. Nevertheless, we have installed mobile access ramps on most of our trains.

It is very dangerous and legally forbidden to travel on railway tracks (Article 7 of the Law of 27/04/2018 on the Railway Police). Please note that even if there are no passenger trains in the timetable, we may run work trains at any time.
However, there are many wonderful walks in the Vallée du Bocq that you can discover without putting yourself in danger –> http://www.spontinvillage.be/a-faire.php

Tourist trains and lines, just like ‘classic’ trains and lines, are subject to strict and regular checks by the Railway Safety and Interoperability Service (RSIS) to ensure optimum safety.
