The only reason we have a sleeper train booked to Brussels from Munich is to catch our flight home. Now it appears that our cheapest option is to find our way to London or Paris instead, but that would render our nonrefundable train tickets worthless.
I
think this would be covered -- flight from MUC is cancelled so you fly direct from BRU (or by way of LON or PAR) and abandon your BRU-MUC train, I think the Trip Interruption insurance would reimburse you for the train (assuming insolvency is still covered under the Aug 2019 terms). Either way if the cheapest way home is to abandon the train tickets, do that as it will be cheaper whether or not the insurance reimburses you for the train tickets.
Can't say I've seen a report of a parallel situation on this thread but seems like a good shot. A covered event triggered an interruption of your trip, and you missed out on some pre-paid travel plans.
Make sure to try to cancel the train tickets, or have the terms showing cancellation isn't possible. If there is residual value you'll have to wait for the value to expire.
