Emergency services exercise: interruption of metro 1
On Sunday 29 March 2026 until 2.00 pm
Published on
The emergency services conduct an exercice at Stockel Square/Stokkel Square. The Stockel/Stokkel metro station is located within the safety perimeter. Therefore, metro line 1 is interrupted between Alma and Stockel/Stokkel and replaced by an M-bus. The M-bus runs between Roodebeek and Stockel/Stokkel. The best stops to transfer between metro line 1 and the M-bus are Roodebeek or Vandervelde (as the M-bus stop at Alma is 300 metres from the station).
