As @mobilithib reported recently, there are very impactful works coming on Square Baraplein near Gare du Midi/Zuidstation in Brussels.

However, this also gives some options for #Streckensammler

* Tram 51 from 27 April will be cut short at Lemonnier. The most probable option is that the switchover in the tunnel entrance will be used for this.
* Tram 4 going to Gare du Nord/Noordstation will very probable use a section of track between Zuidstation/Gare du Midi and Lemonnier without regular service.
* From 6 June, line 82 is going to be temporarily extended from Neerstalle to Dieweg. For this curves at Kruispunt/Carrefour Stalle and Marlow stops will be used that don't have a regular service. The terminus at Dieweg is also without regular service.

@smveerman Tram 4 is to use the access of (ex)51/82 till Gare du Midi / Zuidstation (street level) before turning right on Av Fonsny / Fonsnylaan till Wiels via Avenue du Roi / Koningslaan.

Otherwise, Porte de Hal / Hallepoort - Stalle P, also on T4.

Tram 10 is also going to use the same route from Lemmonier to Midi/Zuid then left into the terminus of Rue de l'Argonne / Argonnestraat where 51s are resting.

Last weekend, 81 were taking the direct route from Suède/Zweden till Bara due to works.

@ThibaultLapers Yes, but to go straight from the Rue Couverte/Overdekte Straat to Lemonnier -> Noordstation/Gare du Nord as 4 and 10 will do, there is a short section in the tunnel that currently has no regular service.

@smveerman We'll see what happens. This can be used as "garage" as well. Not rare to see that spot used by a tram 😄
