Exactly 65 years ago, the last tram from Humbeek to Brussels ran: "Should not have disappeared"

This weekend, Humbeek commemorates the end of the farmer tram service that ceased on October 31, 1961. The event features an exhibition in the old tram shed, showcasing photographs and a nearly 100-year-old restored tram. Visitors reflect nostalgically on the tram's disappearance, with many believing it should never have been discontinued. Roland Desmet shares fond memories of riding the tram, while André Van Laer criticizes the decision to stop the service, noting ongoing traffic issues and failed plans for a new tram line. The exhibition also includes a coastal tram from the 1930s, restored by local volunteers, highlighting the tram's historical significance in the community.
