Charleroi Metro line 55

The following is a list of former lines of the Charleroi Metro which are now defunct. These lines operated on the Charleroi Metro (then known as the Charleroi Premetro) starting from the early 1990s (though a version of Line 89 had existed since 1976) until the system's reorganization into the Charleroi Metro in 2012.

Trams on former Lines 54/55 ran from 05:00 until 20:00, and had train frequencies of:

Trams on former Lines 88/89 (but not Line 84) ran from 05:30 until 19:00, and had train frequencies of:

These lines operated before the full opening of the 'central loop' of the Charleroi Metro in central Charleroi in 2012, which led to the inauguration of the currently operating Charleroi Metro lines M1, M2, and M4 (and a year later, in 2013, line M3).

Line 54 was a line on the Charleroi Premetro in Belgium operated by TEC Charleroi, running from Charleroi-South railway station (aka. Sud), in downtown Charleroi, to Gilly (part of the municipality of Charleroi), via the western part of the downtown loop.

Line 54 was inaugurated on 28 August 1992 and was the first to use the Gilly branch of the Charleroi Premetro network when it opened in 1992. It remained the sole line to operate on that branch until the opening of Line 55 in 1996.

Line 54 had a length of 5.38 kilometres (3.34 mi), all on premetro infrastructure, and included 8 stations. Trams drove on the right between Sud and Waterloo, then on the left between Samaritaine and Gilly. Some Line 54 services were operated by 2 trams coupled together.
