Charleroi-West Railway Station
Charleroi-West (french: Charleroi-Ouest) is a secondary railway station serving Charleroi, Belgium. It is one of two railway stations located in downtown Charleroi, the other one being the much larger Charleroi-South railway station. Charleroi-West is also a station of the Charleroi metro. Rail station Charleroi-West is a small, unstaffed station with no building or other services of its own, served only by Belgian railway line 140 linking Charleroi to Ottignies. Charleroi-West used to be a dead-end station (and thus the terminus of line 140) until 27 May 1987, when a rail connection to Charleroi-South was opened. The 6 km industrial line 260 links Charleroi-Ouest with the freight classification yard of Monceau-sur-Sambre. Because of its proximity to Charleroi-South and the limited train service, Charleroi-West sees very little passenger traffic, with a weekday average of 75 boarding passengers on weekdays (20 on Saturdays, 30 on Sundays) in 2007.
