Chronology

06.06.2023	05/06/2023: all services on route 24 are operated with CAF trams, no more P.C.C.'s on route 24. 09/06/2023: due to roadworks and single track, route 7 runs between Olympiade and Eilandje and this for at least 6 months or more. 15/06/2023: a solution has been found for route 7 and the tram operates for exactly 1 day on the normal path. 16/06/2023: due to road- and trackworks, route 7 will be diverted to Groenplaats till 30/08/2023. Route 7: Mortsel — Groenplaats. 01/07/2023: the route to Hoboken (route 4) will be closed till the complete renovation, which is not yet planned, maybe something for 2024/2025. Articulated buses will offer a shuttle service. Route 2 (Merksem — Zwaantjes) and 4 (Zwaantjes — Berchem) will be combined and operating with low-floor trams. This means also that no more PCC's will run on routes 2 and 4. In the summer months, a limited number of P.C.C.'s will probably only run on routes 7 and 8.
28.05.2023	150 years tram in Antwerpen, included a tram parade.
12.03.2023	Last day of operation of route 11. The tracks and streets are going to be completely overhauled. This process will take until 2024/2025. This also marks the definitive end of the original (non-modernised) P.C.C.'s.
30.01.2023	The new CAF trams will enter in service on route 10 and soon on route 24 and 1. Until further notice, the oldest P.C.C. trams will remain in service, but only on route 11.
09.01.2023	Sufficient new tram drivers have been recruited, which means the normal timetable is returning . Line 12 is also back in service and the Ghent P.C.C.'s.
