It's not too late - line 3 (partly down the tunnel formerly occupied by the
river Senne beneath the central boulevards) is still tram-only (now with
platforms on both sides of each track at the busiest stations, as part of
the upgrade for wheel-chair access) and will remain so even when the next
batch of trams are delivered. See the STIB's web site for the current
network plan etc. (www.stib.be ). IIRC you could take a Eurostar day-trip
and visit Transpole ( www.transpole.fr ) en route too...


If that's the Lille metro, it's well worth changing trains at Lille
Europe just to have a few minutes to look at the amazing murals on the
wall of the metro station there!
