About twenty P trains, additional trains that only circulate at peak hours, at their destination and from Brussels will be deleted on Monday June 30 and Tuesday, July 1, indicates the SNCB rail operator on its website. This is a preventive measure in the context of the heat announced.
This measure is taken so that the trains are safe and offer more comfort. Troubleshooting teams will also be strengthened.
During the summer months, hot weather may have an impact on trains traffic, warns the railway company. Travelers are advised to drink a lot of water, work at home if possible and avoid traveling during rush hour.
High temperatures can also affect rail infrastructure (expansion of tracks and catenaries) and trains (air conditioning breakdowns). The SNCB teams and the manager of the Infrabel rail network will be on the 24 -hour bridge over 24 hours and their capacity is reinforced. More air -conditioned trains will also be used on the busiest lines during hot weather.
