There is a section of track that has lost its passenger traffic: The connection Familleureux-Manage of the Manage triangle on line 117.

This is not my picture - it was mentioned in the thread on the UK railway forum wnxx about Eurostars being scrapped.

Sorry for posting in English. Today there is also no connection from the Aachen L-trains to the ICs from Eupen to Brussels & Oostende at Welkenraedt. The IC to Oostende departs at 14 minutes past the hour and the L train from Aachen arrives at 18 minutes past the hour. The connection works fine ...

Sorry for posting in English. My Belgian mobile phone is a company one with BASE. BASE have 3 gaps between Gent and Brussels where there is no signal on line 50A. When SNCB did the experiment with WiFi on the Oostende / Eupen route, this worked for the entire journey over the same route. Partly this...

Blijkbaar zouden maar enkele treinstellen vernieuwd worden (interieur) zelfde als de E320 Velaro Siemens stellen Erwin Sorry for posting in English.

Met mijn S8 heb ik vorige vrijdag in ieder geval precies dezelfde route genomen, dus dat lijkt hem inderdaad te zijn (veel alternatieven zullen er ook wel niet zijn). De route in de andere richting snap ik wel niet helemaal, heb je iets meer toelichting? Ik zie dat er in de richting Schuman-Noord e...

Sorry for posting in English. If anyone is interested, here is a GPS trace showing the route taken by P8600 this afternoon.

Sorry for posting in English. 2744 + 2748 with a set of M6 coaches have been replacing a type 18 for several days now.

Waar gebeurt de loc wissel van de Benelux? Ik vermoed thv Schaarbeek? Sorry for replying in English. There is no locomotive change during the day on the Benelux this weekend. Southbound they take line 25 from Mechelen to just north of Vilvoorde then cross to line 27 then line 26/1 and turn off at K...

Brussels South/Midi is the most important interchange in the country, from there, you can get almost everywhere with maximum one change of trains. Alternatives such as Mons, Charleroi, Namur or Liège, don't have that. That line is also tediously slow. And there is an alternative from Brussels South...

Now it is showing them as running via Brussel-Zuid includi...
