Het Groot Belgisch Treinen Forum

As Vic says send me an e-mail and I can send you a copy of my information spreadsheet and a rather eccentric newsletter [both in Engish]. At the end of the day, information is for sharing but I am surprised at just how poor some of the home grown information sources are. You are very photography bas...

I understood they had been sold to European Wagon Leasing [EWL] for use in Eastern Europe. They may still have been sold to EWL who have leased them to someone else. 3004 and 3006 are at Salzinnes and 3002 and 3003 are at Antwerpen Noord. The 3000s have worked to Longwy, Volmerange-les-Mines and Aud...

Infrabel has moved ten scrap HLD 55s to the port area this week with the first train of five on Tuesday 22nd October 2024. There is a film on-line of 6263 and 6299 moving 5518, 5539, 5515, 5505 and 5535 over the level crossing on the Avenue de Vilvorde. Apparently new crossing barriers have been fit...

Thank you for the kind replies.

Apologies for posting in English. Does anybody know the departure times of the HLE 18 and I11 between Brussel Zuid and Paris? I have looked on the Internet but I cannot find them. The Eurostar times are on-line for post 15th December but the trains via the Classic Lines do not seem to feature. If th...

CFL 3004 is at Salzinnes Works. I do not know if it is a sale, lease or rent to TCS to operate the Diner Train. Will also enable the Diner Train to work out of Luxembourg if necessary.

New out recently has been 76083 There are 72 M7 BMx in service 76007/08/09 [3] 76010/11/12/13/14/15/16/18/19 [9] 76020/21/22/23/24/25/26/27/28/29 [10] 76030/31/32/33/34/35/36 [7] 76041/42/43/47/48/49 [6] 76050/51/52/53/54/55/56/57/58/59 [10] 76060/61/62/63/64/65/66/67/68/69 [10] 76070/71/72/73/74/75...

I have just come to look at this topic in response to a question. This is something that used to happen in the UK until we changed the rules to only allowing a Conductor to give the signal that the train is ready to proceed if the signal is yellow or green. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ding-ding,_a...

Beginnen met langere rijtuigstammen kan ook geen kwaad. 7 bakken is erg karig wanneer alle perrons toch zeker 9 bakken aankunnen. Ik meen immers dat de onverbouwde perrons in Mechelen (aan pakweg 270 meter uit mijn hoofd) de beperkende factor zijn. Of stopt de Benelux tegenwoordig enkel op de verni...

2715 has been at Salzinnes for cab floor repairs and is now back at Kinkempois
2741 is at Salzinnes for cab repairs
2752 is back in service this week.

I would not read too much into some of the HLE 27s sitting around for a long time as they do seem to do this. It could be awaiting parts.

In the UK most level crossings have a telephone which puts you in direct contact with the signaller on that section of line. There are two telephones, one each side of the tracks.

Apologies for posting in English. I have a technical question. In December 2020 an order was placed for 204 multifunctional M7 Coaches. These are the ones with cycle spaces, a disabled toilet and a ramp that comes out. This ramp enables mobility impaired people to enter and leave the train unaided b...

There are 747 M7 vehicles on order.

There are @ 189 either in service or delivered as finished vehicles, so around 25% of the current order.

Some of the early M7B and M7AB are not fitted out inside and have been used for testing. These will be retro fitted.

Does anyone have a list of which M7 vehicles are allocated to which depots please?

Heeft iemand een lijst van welke M7 voertuigen zijn toegewezen aan welke depots?

Thank you

Iain

Only two cars of 810 have been preserved by NMBS, two are for scrap.
