Due to a personal accident that occurred this Friday afternoon, two of the six tracks at Brussels Central station were impassable. “Traffic is disrupted between Brussels-North and Brussels-Midi stations“, indicated the SNCB on the social network X around 5 p.m.
The accident occurred around 4:30 p.m. on track 5 of the Central station, said SNCB spokesperson Dimitri Temmerman. As a result, tracks 5 and 6 were temporarily out of use. One death has been reported, according to the federal police. The exact circumstances of the facts are not yet clear. The damaged train linked Antwerp to Charleroi. The accident caused serious disruption to the rail network, with delays reaching 45 minutes and some trains canceled.
We learned this Friday evening, around 8:30 p.m., that the problem had been resolved. Brussels-Central being at the heart of a real railway hub, the inaccessibility of two of its tracks has led to considerable delays, delays which should remain current until the end of the service, according to a spokesperson for the SNCB.
