So there is a resurrection in sight. Built in the first half of the 1980s, the line and its 6 existing stations were never put into operation due to lack of funding.

To rehabilitate these 5.5 kilometers of tracks, between 90 and 100 million euros will be necessary. Europe will inject 60 million, the Walloon region should complete the rest of the budget. Paul Magnette, the mayor of Charleroi, assures us that the site has been well prepared. There will be no unreasonable delays or budget overruns.”the estimates were well made and we can clearly see that the infrastructure has stood up very well over time. Moreover, they have been well maintained over all these years to prevent them from deteriorating and because we knew that one day it would be worth putting them back into use.“
Around 1 in 3 Carolos does not have a car.
