In September 2001 I went to Belgium (and Luxembourg) on holiday. Here are a few badly-scanned old photographs.

Tram 7066 near the center of Antwerpen. 2001-09-05.

A modern tram in Brussels.

Tram 7811 at the terminus near the Atomium in Brussels.

Another Brussels tram.

Ramparts military cemetery, on the city walls in Ieper. The town is called Ypres in French, but is perhaps better known in Britain as "Wipers".

De Lijn coastal tram at Oostende, 2001-09-03.

Railcar 4508 at Dinant in the Ardennes, forming the 12.47 departure to Beauraing on 6 September 2001. These noisy little things are probably as bad as British Pacer trains – though they do have bogies, and if the driver leaves the cab door open you can see out of the front. From Beauraing to Gedinne the train was replaced by a bus, owing to electrification work.
