The Belgian rail network was reorganised from 14 December 2014. Since this date there are two domestic passenger train categories on the main lines, these are:
*Intercity trains - An express, limited-stop service, often calling only at major railway stations; in some cases it has stops at all stations along part of the route.
*Local (L) trains (Lokale treinen / trains Locaux) - A local service calling at all stations along the route.
To cater for the large number of commuter workers, especially into Brussels, complementary peak-hours trains run on mornings and late afternoons of working days, they are classified as P-trains.
Another category was added in December 2015, to comprise operations on the Brussels suburban network
GEN/RER and took over a good deal of the ''local'' trains. These are classified as S-trains, and were later also introduced around other key cities like Antwerp, Liège, Gent.
