Chaos on the track in Brussels: tomorrow less trains
Brussels rail Passengers should also in the future, take into account disrupted train traffic, as a result of the fire in a signal box in Brussels-North this morning. At least during the morning rush hour there will be fewer trains, reports the NMBS. The P-trains (piekuurtreinen), S4 - S10-trains not riding at all. Between Antwerp and Brussels, drive there are only two instead of four trains per hour. The limited schedule is similar to the ones that since this afternoon.

By the fire, the movement of the trains between Brussels-North and Brussels-South is in full morning rush hour one and a half hours interrupted in both directions. the

Some trains were rerouted via the eastern and western ringspoor, others were simply abolished. Commuters were given the board as much as possible, tram, bus and metro to take. On presentation of your nmbs / SNCB ticket if you free the bus, tram or metro of the STIB / mivb to use within Brussels to travel to your destination.

Still heavy inconvenience

Technicians now have all the tracks available, but the restrictions for the traffic in the capital continue. Travelers should still take into account significant delays or deletion.

The fire in the Brussels North has especially damaging to the power supply to the overhead lines. “Because of damage to cables and voedingsposten is a part of the power from Brussels-South acquired. We are, therefore, not on the full flow capacity”, says Infrabel spokesman Frédéric Petit.

Custom schedule

The SNCB has therefore a custom timetable with less trains drawn up. For the rest of the day, are all P-trains (piekuurtreinen) from Brussels and a number of other connections are deleted. “We have no visibility on when everything will be recovered,” says Petit. “Our people stay the whole day and next night to work. It is wait and see.” The limited timetable applies at least until tomorrow morning, says NMBS spokesman Bart Crols.

in Addition to all the P-trains from Brussels are also S4, and S10-trains is deleted, for example, the website of the nmbs / SNCB to read. Also on the other S-lines, there are changes, and some IC trains to Brussels Airport and drive no further than the Brussels-North.
