Abstract David Littlefield describes how Belgian railway company NMBS/SNCB is realising a new holistic vision for high‐speed rail in the country with railway stations that are being envisaged as destinations in themselves that connect their urban contexts. This is epitomised by Jacques Voncke's recently completed renovation and expansion of the fin‐de‐siècle Antwerp Central and Santiago Calatrava's dramatic white canopy for the new station at Liège‐Guillemins.
