GOSSELIES TRAM ROUTE CHARLEROI TO REOPEN ON 21 JUNE 2013 - Mike Russell



Mike has today sent out an email stating the following -

I have just received confirmation that the official re-opening of the Gosselies tram line in Charleroi, Belgium, will be on Friday 21 June.   Travel on the whole local network will be free on Saturday 22 June.
It is not yet known whether the normal tram service will start from first light on Saturday 22 June, or whether public operation will commence after the Ministerial opening on the Friday.
At this stage there is no information as to whether any form of museum car operation will be permitted, and it is thought that only normal service BN cars will operate over the opening weekend.
Have a look at this to refresh your memory of how things were in the late 80's/early 90's Check oput http://www.focustransport.org.uk/gfocus2.aspx for a review of the DVD.
