ENLARGED MEETING OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE OF THE IRCA. SECTION 4: DESIGN AND EQUIPMENT OF FIXED INSTALLATIONS AND EXAMPLES OF COMPLETE REALISATIONS. BRUSSELS: TWENTY YEARS OPERATION WITH AN URBAN RAIL CONNECTION

Situated in the centre of the network, Brussels, the capital of the country, represents the most important railway junction point in the country. Each day, the eight main lines carry a total of some 370,000 passengers into and out of Brussels. In the international context, the Belgian capital handles rail transit traffic from England to Switzerland and Germany, and from France to the Netherlands. In actual fact, the rail intersection point of Brussels has been operating with its present layout for some twenty years only, from the time the Nord-Midi Link line was opened.
