Charleroi airport to Brussels city by train
To get to Charleroi Sud (south) train station there is a direct Airport Express bus A which leaves from outside the terminal (18 minutes). You can buy a ‘bulk’ ticket from one of the ticket booths within the station and travel to the train station and then onwards to any station in Brussels. These combined tickets can only be purchased on-site at the airport and come in one-way or return journeys. Train journeys are 60 minutes from Charleroi Sud to Brussels Centrale. If you are purchasing it to reach the airport from any train station ask for a “code 814 - Signe Fare” or “code 815-Return Fare”.

From airport web site - no reservations possible. Just buy on arrival.

It goes to Brussels Sud, (Zuid) main train station. Get off at Brussels Central stop before probably for town center.

Scrap that - these trains do not stop or go thrun Brussels Centraal it seems -for lots about Belgian and European trains check www.seat61.com; www.budgeteuropetravel.com and www.ricksteves.com.

We flew into Charleroi once, and took the bus to Charleroi station, and a train to Brussels, where we connected to a train to Paris. It was easy and painless.
