i want to go to from Reims, France in the morning to Bastogne. Spend the day there then head to Brussels for the night but can't seem to find if the trains make those routes. Does anyone have any information? thx,

There are a couple of stations in Bastogne, but I think they're no longer is use. I haven't seen a train down thay way for at least twenty years. It looks like a bummer. According to the German rail site, it's a five to six hour project with routing through either Lux City or Brussels. The quickest one seems to be 4+20 with a a 0900 departure and four changes. Heading into Brussles it looks like a three hour deal with frequent departures. Train service seems to end/begin in Libramont which connects to Bastonge via bus - - maybe confirming my observation. I have no personal experience, having only driven around the area. Somebody smarter might know better.

Ed is correct. There is no passenger rail service to Bastogne. You have to transfer to a bus, which do not run very frequently. It's pretty inconvenient without a car.
