Tram G from Brussels to Grimbergen and back ran for the last time on 31st
July 1978. The "red cross" would actually have been a diagonal red line
indicating that the tram was not running the full length of its route.

I am in Woluwe St Pierre in the SE of Brussels and the Belgian Royal
Meteorological Institute with its weather station is at Uccle in the south -
see map above.

Beauval (sp?). The tram line was certainly taken up when I was last
the I was a bit disappointed. When I was a young chappie I took one
tram in to the centre ( G diagonal I think) and it went through a road
with a lot of madams sitting in the window. I was told to look the
other way. I have not forgotten that - 30 years ago.
I have occasionally looked at a radar site that covers most of
Belgium.
