Tram lines Rechteroever
Tram line 11 is running again on its previous route. Tram lines 3, 5, 9, and 15 will follow a new route on Rechteroever during the works.
What?
During the tunnel renovation, there are no trams running between P+R Melsele and Opera metro station. The 4 tram lines that normally also run on Linkeroever (3, 5, 9, and 15) follow a new route on Rechteroever during the works:
Tram lines 3 and 15 have been merged into the new (temporary) tram line A3.
Tram lines 5 and 9 have been merged into the new (temporary) tram line A9.
Why the letter A in the name? It obviously refers to 'Antwerp,' but it also indicates that it's an Alternative tram line.

Tram lines 3 and 15 have been temporarily merged.
