TEC Charleroi - Metro Leger de Charleroi - Centenaire - Waterloo

[@MrBluebirds22]

Great video! Absolutely amazes me how an operational line like this has just been left abandoned all this time!

[@Desmaad]

Anybody else find out about this line through Tim Traveler?

[@Maxime_K-G]

Great to see they're working on it again. I remember walking a part of this line as part of a Geocache when visiting Charleroi a while ago. It was a cool walk because of how diverse the landscape was from elevated to tunnel, through stations and cuttings.

[@GreenDachshund]

When I took this video, they haven't actually begun working on the line itself. It has been active almost all the time since the completion.

[@Maxime_K-G]

@@GreenDachshund Was there still a lot of overgrowth on the section just before the start of this video or has that already been cleared? I remember it being basically impossible to pass then.

[@GreenDachshund]

@@Maxime_K-G They used to remove the greens once a year. Only overgrowth at the end of the line.

[@vimsi]

wow.... incredible how there is still power on the lines and they are still working ... also the tracks seem pretty smooth even the signals work?! WOW :D how is this possible? also I really want to know what bystanders thought seeing a tram there :D

[@RunawayTrain2502]

the route is used for training purposes.

[@Ahito1984]

They let the electricity to avoid materials thieves. There would be nothing left if no electricity

[@sick9990101]

it is great that this section will be fixed so it could finally be used from 2026.

[@akamarky]

this is so incredible... after all these years a train finally ran on these abandoned tracks

[@GreenDachshund]

Actually usually once a year a heritage tram runs on this line. This has been for at least the past 5 years.

[@akamarky]

@@GreenDachshund hmm didnt know that

[@akamarky]

@@GreenDachshund do u know when this line will reopen?

[@GreenDachshund]

@@akamarky should be ready in 2026

[@akamarky]

@@GreenDachshund i guess i'll have to visit then :)

[@gustaverknd7]

Le problème c'est qu'on ne voit pas de stations construites près de l Hopital Vivier

[@jelteagteresch]

Erg mooie lijn die zeker in staat is voor een mooie renovatie, wel bijzonder die ouderwetse stations.

[@rubenb6391]

Ja, ik vind sommige stations een beetje weg hebben van Almere Centrum en Lelystad Centrum

[@Je_Existe]

Ik hou van jaren 80 stijl stations

[@magicmango2787]

[@ronaldvanhemiksem3544]

@@rubenb6391 Het is ook net zo'n deprimerende stad.

[@AnotherSwissYoutubeUser]

Incredible to see this line come back from the dead. I'll be sure to visit this city once the line opens, this is great marketing for the city tho. "Ride a Metro line that was abandoned for decades."

[@GreenDachshund]

The line was actually never dead, only not used in passenger service.

[@RalphZacharyPBano]

looks like Philippines' LRT-1 1st Gen Cab Drive that looks familiar because of same Belgian company manufacturer, BN/ACEC

[@techkwando451]

I was thinking the samr when i was in Manila, unlucky i got my phone snatched on the MRT, but police was able to find the snatcher. Didn´t knew it was same manufacturer, but now it make sense. Thx for.the info. And, it´s more fun in the Philippines 😁

[@sebastienpayepaye192]

Belle découverte je suis Carolo et je ne savait pas qu il y avait des autre station de métro

[@Enseaclopedia]

Will this line ever open?

[@GreenDachshund]

It should be opened in 2027

[@none-id3lj]

Dat ding trekt stevig op. Ben benieuwd, wat een puinbak daar zeg.

[@robert4travel]

If you want to know why this line was built but never opened (at least until now), see this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5awe3WnisSYj8U

🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿: It's crazy that a train is going through again after 43 years, because before the train made the reactivation journey, many people went to the track and made a Lost Place film, including Adventure Buddy kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3-oiYBujKarbbc here's a great video from 2019 when the route was still deserted

🇩🇪: Wahnsinn das da ne Bahn nach 43 Jahren wieder durch fährt denn bevor die Bahn die Reaktivierungsfahrt gemacht hat sind viele Leute zur Strecke gegangen und haben nen Lost Place Filme gemacht unteranderm Adventure Buddy kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3-oiYBujKarbbc hier ein tolles Video von 2019 als die Strecke noch verlassen war

[@dirkmeier5115]

Theoretisch sind dort schon immer Bahnen gefahren. Die Oberleitung wurde permanent mit Strom versorgt, weil darüber auch das restliche Netz erreicht wird. Zwischen Chet und Waterloo werden regelmäßig Ausbildungsfahrten gemacht. Ich habe mir vor zwei Wochen auch einen Bahnhof von innen angesehen. Das Risiko, dass gerade in diesem Moment ein Zug kommt, ist ja trotzdem sehr gering.

[@Maik-Lind4]

@@dirkmeier5115 ok dann haben sich die Bahnen und die Lost Place buddy sich wohl überschnitten sagen wir so bisher richtig Glück gehabt

[@dirkmeier5115]

@@Maik-Lind4 Die Bahnen fahren recht langsam. Da wäre immer genügend Zeit um zu bremsen.

🇫🇷: C'est fou qu'un train repasse après 43 ans, car avant que le train ne fasse le voyage de réactivation, beaucoup de gens sont allés sur la piste et ont fait un film Lost Place, dont Adventure Buddy kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3-oiYBujKarbbc voici un super vidéo de 2019 quand la route était encore déserte

[@rekkinregen]

wat smerig daar alles.

[@GreenDachshund]

Dat krijg je als een metrolijn 40 jaar ongebruikt er bij ligt. Veel graffiti, afval dumpen en vernielingen
