Smoke halts rail services on cross-Brussels link
Rail services through the North-South Link
in Brussels have resumed, but the rail track company warns it could take a
little while before all services are back on schedule. Expect delays of up to
one hour. Services were halted after smoke was reported in one of the tunnels.
Smoke was reported in Tunnel 3 used by services
on tracks 5 and 6. Fire-services attended the scene. Around 7AM, at the height of the morning rush
hour, services bound for Brussels were stopped at neighbouring stations before
they could enter the tunnels. Brussels
Central Station was evacuated as a while as a precaution. Rail traffic resumed
at 7:56.
