Submission – Photo: Cross-section of Brussels Midi/Zuid Station Complex

Submitted by Piotr Ingling, who says:

Not exactly a transit map but seeing your post with NY subway stations drawings recalled me this one. It’s a photo that I took in Dec 2004 – unfortunately it seems that the board has been removed long time ago during renovation works. I hope it is preserved somewhere.

There are two levels here for metro and trams (underground part of tram network is called pre-metro as it’s ready to be converted to a proper metro in the future). On both levels tram and metro go in opposite directions and can (dis)embark from both sides of carriages.

What a great photo, Piotr! Even though you took the picture in 2004, I’d hazard a guess that the diagram actually dates from around 1993, when the pre-metro platforms were added to the station – the fact that the architectural and engineering firms are listed to the right would seem to support this theory. Then again, maybe it’s even from 1988 when the original Metro station opened!
