Willebroek

Quickly along the A12 towards Brussels

The express tram starts from Fort van Breendonk and runs all the way to Brussels-North. As far as Londerzeel, it follows the east side of the A12; from Londerzeel, it follows the west side. Two stops are planned in Willebroek, just like in the neighbouring municipalities of Meise and Londerzeel. These will be developed as transport nodes where travellers can easily transfer from one mode of transport to another. Limiting the number of stops for the express tram will enable it to live up to its name and bring you quickly into Brussels.

Travel between home and work

The travel time from Willebroek to Brussels will be reduced with the express tram. At the moment it often takes up to 75 minutes to get to Brussels-North, but with the express tram it will take you just 40 minutes. Anyone working along the A12 will be able to get to work without difficulty with the express tram – and local businesses there will find it easier to attract employees. In addition, transferring to the new airport tram or the ring tram will be simple, making it easy to get to the area around the airport.

Convenient leisure and other trips

The express tram will make the City of Brussels, Tour & Taxis, Heizel, Meise Botanic Garden and other destinations easily accessible for people living in Willebroek. Great for a museum visit, shopping trip or meal out. What’s more, you can reach Vilvoorde with a single transfer (onto the ring tram). As a result, that centre too will be brought within easy reach, as well as the hospitals of Jette and Vilvoorde and larger secondary schools in the area.
