Pigeons gathered commuters at nightfall at the Piéton station, an abandoned train station which has been sold. And became an unguarded stop.
The station is in a terrible state. It’s the bush!
Duncan Smith, member of the non-profit organization shuttleur.bedescribed the place to Paul-Henri Burrion: ” The station is in a terrible state. The platforms are low, the shelters exploded. There is no waiting room. There are no more machines. “He adds that summer,” It’s the bush “, because the quays are overgrown with vegetation.
During this evening, there was even a blackout and the trains were speeding along the tracks. The SNCB contact point was responsive and quickly restored power to the entire station.
A small glimmer of hope for users: according to Duncan Smith, SNCB has announced for 2023 the installation of new shelters on the platforms of the Pedestrian station.
In Belgium, they are every day on average 800,000 to choose the train as a means of transport.
