From Tuesdays to Thursdays the single bus makes an overnight trip that starts at around 23:20 and arrives roughly 14h 25min later at around 14:45. These are all BlaBlaCar buses. On Mondays and Saturdays, the first bus leaves at about 08:30, operated by FlixBus and the last is once again the 23:20 BlaBlaCar overnight bus. The same holds for Fridays and Sundays, except that there are more buses in-between, at around 10:00. These are the buses to Brussels from London that RegioJet operates.
