Although some officers are still doing their security rounds on the trains, they are not checking the tickets. “It’s not really a strike, but a silent protest once morest acts of aggression. It’s an internal initiative. The unions are not in charge, but we understand (this movement of discontent),” said Mr. Blauwens.
The action will continue until February 15.
In recent days, several train drivers have been victims of attacks by passengers, particularly in Liège, Kortrijk and Lier.
