Шарлеруа — Станции и инфраструктура (неиспользуемые)

Station Chet

In 1985, everything was ready for commissioning: the ticket inspector's office, the escalators...
In the meantime, about everything that could be useful was stolen.

It looks quite reasonable, but everything that could be stolen and vandalised has also suffered this fate.

The station has been waiting for passengers since 1985...

A view of the line that is never used (for passenger services).
A few years later, security was enhanced and such visits are impossible: there are now supposed to be cameras and guards.

The whole line was built in a deprived area. At one time, there were many coal mines here, but they have all been closed since long. The hill is a former mine site. This line was built long after the closure of the coal mines and there is not much to do here. The point of this station is totally beyond me...

Meanwhile, the line is also largely used as dumping ground by local residents. Otherwise, both the tracks and the catenary are still present.

The official entrances and exits are locked. This is the view into the station. A graffiti drawing shows what should have been the intention...

One track (on the right) can still be used. Since all electrical and electronic installations have been stolen, this is only done under the supervision of the dispatching department, which of course is responsible for ensuring that only one tram runs at a time on this line.

The station was fully operational before an inauguration in 1985, which never happened.
One track has been reactivated and is occasionally (rarely) used for service reasons or for tram enthusiasts.

It looks beautiful... from far away. Appearances are deceptive. This is one of the stations that never came into service.

The intention to exhibit a tram as a monument at a remote location usually ends badly. After the inauguration, nobody will look after it except vandals. This has also been the case here.
