Tournai railway station

Tournai railway station

The railway station of Tournai, in Belgium, is situated on line 94. The first train arrived there on the 24th of January 1842.A first neo-classical stone building dating from the 1840s was later dismantled and replaced to serve as the railway station of the town of Leuze-en-Hainaut. The current station building was designed by Henri Beyaert and erected between 1874-1879. The monumental building originally included a glass and iron construction covering the platforms and rails, and a "gare des marchandises" located in a separate building conceived in the form of a late-medieval Flemish cloth-hall. The buildings were severely damaged during World War II. The structure covering the platforms and rails was demolished and replaced by simple awnings covering the platforms.

Today the station serves the lines:

* IC D : Liers - Herstal
* IC H : Schaerbeek - Mouscron
* IR k : Tournai - Charleroi
