Some facts:
0:10: Station Diamant (Centraal Station) is on two levels, this is the upper level direction city centre. Fact: the latter part of the platform has it own screen way in the back, but almost nobody goes there as the trams never stop there. It also has one of the most boring empty mezzanines for a central station.
0:30: Opera station has been renovated the past years (was closed for 2 years), it's a transfer station, access to P+R and is now opened up to the surface, which you can see at 6:20
1:25: Meir station is the most orginal state of the basic line. It's huge because of the pre-metro hype then. Huge in scale, with marble and granit and at the shopping precinct of the city. The pre-metro of Antwerp was never intended to be converted to metro.
2:50: Groenplaats station nearest the cathedral and city hall. Originally it was a terminus/loop as the line ended here. Until in the 90'ties it was considered a brilliant idea to extend it below the Schelde river to the Linkeroever (left bank part) of the city. It's two level station and up for renovation coming years.
3:30: Frederik Van Eeden station, is the first station after the Brabotunnel (nickname of the tramtunnel under the Schelde). The city direction is slightly higher than the opposing tracks as the two seperate bored tunnels aren't at the same level.
6:30: Astrid (Centraal station), It's a transfer station in itself, below a square in front of the Central station. Connected by a complicated set of stairs and long corridors wth the Diamant station.
The first trunk route was constructed in cut-and-cover what resulted in such protest against the disruption on the surface, that the remainder of the network was constructed with bored tunnels. But at the end of the eighties, money ran out. Parts of the bored lines only came in exploitation during the late '90s and in the 2010's. And some parts are stil unopened.
In short, it's a typîcal Belgian chaotic laissez-faire mess, and although not as bad as Charleroi, where the economic downturn really caused a disaster, it's not a shining example of planning or network layout. REsulting in so nice stations where you don't feel very comfortable.
Will the system ever be converted to a proper metro, like they did in Brussels?

@@leonpaelinckI think so because it shows for the going to the Trams in Centraal, METRO 😊
elke dag van handel naar groenplaats tram 3 of 5 🤦♂️
En nu nog de roltrappen die goed werken, en blijven werken 🙏😩
this was confusing for me and the Maps on the stupid phones could even tell me i had to go underground to catch the trams
yes it's really annoying the first time
In het eerste gedeelte had je tramlijn 15 gefilmd die tramlijn gaat verdwijn uit het Antwerpse tramnet samen met tramlijn 4, 7 en 11 ze hadden vroeger al tramlijn 12 afgeschaft maar ja bij ons in Linkeroever gaat tramlijn 15 weg alleen tramlijnen 3, 5 & 9 blijven over voor ons 😕😕 maar mooie video groetjes uit Antwerpen Linkeroever 👋 🙌
Mooie video weer👍
Goie video , ik neem altijd tram 15 of 9 naar school 😌👍
The trams don’t ding as they leave the station like they do in Brussels, interesting. Do they have a bell?
I’m from the UK btw, only Belgium city I’ve been to is Brussels and loved the metros, trams and pre-metro trams there. 1:51
they do have a bell but only use it when necessary, im brussels i think it’s mandatory to indicate the tram i about to move
I live in Antwerp the tram have a horn no bell only the newest tram the CAF Urbos that is new from Ostend
I want to take metro from handelstraat to abdijstraat how do i do that
Nice video! I have used Trams in Antwerp city...but have rarely passed through the underground pre metro stations.
Very nice 👍

Hi! I will be visiting antwerp soon and can you confirm me if public transport payments can only be made by contactless credit card directly on the bus/tram? Thanks
You have multiple options, but it depends on what mode of transport you're taking
Tram Only:
-Contactless credit/debit card, white check-in devices. They are not yet available on the busses.
Bus and/or tram:
-Buy a 10-ride card at a De Lijn ticket machine, costs €16 (€1,60 per ride) usually located in the pre-metro stations or at some train stations, you have to check these in at the yellow devices on the trams and busses.
-Send an SMS to '4884' containing the letters 'dl'. These tickets are valid for one hour of travel and cost €2,00 + operator fees. For local numbers it usually amounts to €2,95 but check your operator to make sure.
@@Ksandur Thank you very much for your help. Hugs!
@@JFAmaral No worries! Enjoy your stay in Belgium! And make sure to visit the central station 🙏 one of my favorite buildings in the centre!
@@Ksandur I will... Central Station and De Koninck brewery are in my top 5 "To Visit". Thanks again
@@Ksandur what’s with the day pass vervoerbewijs ? I bought one in Gent and could even ride the Kusttram with it…
Boring
