An excellent morning spent at Bruxelles-Midi located in the capital city of Belgium where we see plenty of services from SNCB/NMBS, TGV, Thalys and Eurostar.

The former station was known as Station des Bogards/Bogaardenstation which existed in 1840 located in the southern part of the city.

Because the Belgian railway network was starting to get bigger it also meant that the old station could no longer cope with the demand it meant that a bigger station needed to be constructed. This took place in 1869 where the current station now stands, the current station did have a terminus but this was subsequently removed in 1949 and made part of a through station to coinside with the North-South connection project.

This is an amazing station to come to and I highly reccomend it to anyone that is thinking of coming to Belgium.

Please keep an eye out for part 2 which is much better than this first part.
