Charleroi-South ((フランス語:Charleroi-Sud)) is the main railway station serving Charleroi, Belgium. Charleroi-South is also the main TEC bus station in Charleroi, and a station of the Charleroi metro. ==History== * The first railway connection to Charleroi is inaugurated in 1843, when the Belgian state railway company (''Compagnie de l'État Belge'') opens an indirect line from Brussels to Charleroi (via Braine-le-Comte), continuing to Namur. * 1848: opening of a line by the ''Compagnie de l'Entre Sambre et Meuse'' to Walcourt and Morialmé, to support local extractive industries. * 1852: opening of a line by the ''Compagnie du Nord Belge'' to connect Charleroi with its Northern French network, via Erquelinnes. * 1855: opening of a line by the ''Compagnie du Grand Central Belge'' to Ottignies. * 1874: opening of the current more direct line to Brussels, via Nivelles. The current station building is inaugurated the same year. * 1949: the line to Brussels is electrified, making the second railway line in Belgium to be electrified after the Brussels to Antwerp line in 1935. * June 2011: after seven years of work, the renovated station is inaugurated. Renovation includes the exterior of the 1874 building, the interior (including a new shopping gallery), tunnels, as well as the square in front of the station.〔Didier Albin, ("La nouvelle gare de Charleroi sera inaugurée ce week-end" ), ''Le Soir'', Brussels, 23 June 2011.〕 The station was served by a daily Thalys high speed service to Paris between 1998 and 31 March 2015.〔(Article about final Thalys to Ostend )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charleroi-South railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
