21 october 2007 - Anderlues (BE) – Route de Thuin. A very typical Vicinal scene, although taken in 1997. This stop near the end of the current Charleroi Metro Leger (‘light metro’) still looks almost exactly as it would have done fifty years ago, although it is now normally served only by modern, articulated BN cars. The Type N tram shown here was brought from the nearby ASVi museum for some special trips – it originated in Bruxelles, where it ran with a trolley pole.

22 october 2007 - Charleroi, Belgium – Moulin. ASVi museum’s Type N tram crosses the Canal du Sambre on a special trip along the Charleroi TEC ‘ metro leger’, with one of the grandiose station buildings in the background. Before the metro was constructed, trams used to run along the main street of the village in the background – now they are so far away from where people actually live that hardly anyone uses them.

22 october 2007 - Charleroi, Belgium – Gilly. A view forward from the end of the metro tracks at Gilly. The viaduct, tunnels and overhead towers are complete for several kilometres through unopened stations, but the money (or the political pressure) ran out before the line was completed. Everything was left in this condition for over twenty years – now, at long last, there are plans to finish the work.

22 october 2007 - Charleroi, Beaux-Arts. Inside the magnificent metro station at Beaux-Arts in central Charleroi. This station has five or six long, wide platforms – I can’t remember exactly how many – but some aren’t used. A typical peak hour crowd (!) is waiting for the next service tram whilst the ASVi special passes through. This place must have cost millions……..just for one little tram every fifteen minutes.
