Schuman station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schuman is a railway and metro station in the City of Brussels.
The rail station (called Brussel-Schuman/Bruxelles-Schuman) is an elevated station, though its northeastern end is "underground" as it enters a hillside. Its ticket office is located immediately next to the metro station; at one end of the railway station platforms, a stairway leads down to the Maelbeek/Maalbeek metro station. Trains travelling between Brussels South station and Namur and Luxembourg call at the station. The NMBS/SNCB code for the station is FBSM.
The Schuman metro station was first opened in 1969 as a "premetro" station (i.e., a station served by underground tramways). The metro then replaced the tramways on September 20, 1976. It is now served by the metro lines 1A and 1B.
This station is surrounded by several places of interest like the Berlaymont building, the Parc du Cinquantenaire, the "Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat" and the Schuman roundabout after which it was named.
