Like most European countries, Belgium's main towns and cities
developed their own tramway networks. Those that survive today
include Brussels, Gent, Antwerpen and Charleroi. In the 1960s both
French-speaking Liege and Verviers lost their tramways, though
there is a desire in Liege to see it return. In addition to the
city systems, there was a rural network of mainly metre gauge
tramways throughout the country known as the Vicinal. Tony Martens,
though born in Belgium, lived in the UK for most of his life, but
started revisiting the country in the 1960s, photographing most of
the surviving operations. John Law's first visit to the country was
in 1971, accompanying Tony in Brussels, where the last of the
Vicinal routes were still operating and four-wheeled trams were
running on the city streets. John has been returning to Belgium on
a regular basis ever since. Sadly, Tony Martens passed away in
early 2019. Fortunately, John Law was able to gain access to Tony's
slide collection and, along with his own photographic work, has
tapped into this archive to bring you a photographic history of
Belgium's trams and trolleybuses from the mid-1960s to the present
day.
