Eurostar Any Belgian station ticket

We're travelling to Antwerp next spring and decided to go Eurostar. I've been as far as the card payment section (on Eurostar's own site) and haven't found a link or option to buy the additional Any Belgian Station ticket which would save us time when changing trains.

We'd be grateful if some regular user could tell us where it's hidden, or whether I've just misunderstood the instructions somewhere along the line :)

Afterthought: Or can we not buy it until after we've paid for our main booking? :think:

    You've misunderstood, the Eurostar ticket is valid to any Belgian station, there's not a separate ticket.

    If you select "any Belgian station" it is. If you select Brussels (which I suspect is what the OP is doing but as the any station option is obvious when you click on the Belgium tab I don't see how they can't see it) then it's only valid to Brussels.

    It used to be free for onward travel but now it costs a few Pounds extra 9but still a bargain). As said above the OP needs to choose any Belgian station.

    Thank you all - between you, you've got me on the right track. Pun intended :D

    When you go from the Trains/Book a Train it opens up a search box. 'From London' is there by default and the eye goes straight to the 'Popular' and I went straight to the Brussels link. Wrong move!

    Go to the Belgium tab and it all works as it should.

    Thanks again - I knew I'd get quick help on here :beer:
