      Looks nice, but can they now focus on just modernizing the other stations instead of making an expensive architecture challenge of every big one?

      While this is beautiful. I still think Antwerp Central is prettier but a little less well maintained.

      I grew up there but I am not trying to be biased… I really think it is one of the most beautiful stations around.

      In the meantime, Ghent is still ongoing and has gotten downgraded along the way.

      Zeer mooi!

      Hebben wij heel veel voor betaald terwijl er veel nuttigere dingen waren om miljoenen aan uit te geven.

      Apparently the architect is quite known in Spain to make project that endless and get super expensive along the way

      I just wish they’d add MORE train stations in remote areas instead of building shit like this. It looks nice tho.

      It’s completely pointless, oversized for the number of travelers and basically just a monument to wasting money. I really don’t care if anyone thinks it’s architecturally beautiful, that doesn’t justify this abomination.

      Expensive boondoggle, symbolic of corruption surrounding construction of public infrastructure. The total cost of this station is completely disproportionate to the number of commuters served: a mere 9000 commuters per day.

      It’s hideous. But then again, this is Belgium, so it’s par for the course. Anything resembling taste fled or died after art deco.

      Spending half a billion is one thing, but what are the maintenance costs for keeping it clean and functional for multiple decennia? In 10 years, multiple glass panels will be broken, dirty pillars, broken escalators and lights…

      Dit blijft gek! Zo’n duur station voor een stad van nog een 100.000 inwoners Hoeveel zou Elio Di Rupo in zijn zak gestoken hebben?

      Pretty sure it was not about being the „7th most beautiful in the world“… more like in the top 7 most beautiful stations built that year.

      Can we start building fucking normal stations again for God’s sake. Like a classic building with a ticket counter, some seats, a toilet and a quay with tracks coming to it. You could build 10 for the price of this one monstrosity and they are in all likelyhood more comfortable.

      Lets be honest it looks amazing! But just like the insane station of Liége having one beautiful building surrounded by bad infrastructure and declining social welfare just makes this sad… .

      Meanwhile the station in Ghent has been a construction site for about 30 years

      Yeah I’ve traveled in China I can tell you I’ve seen amazing station looking like futuristic little cities that makes this Mons station look like it’s parking. I don’t know who made this so called top but he never traveled outside the Benelux

      And there probably less than 10k passengers there daily lol. Its a nice station but why there?

    44. Isotheis on

      The bigger disaster is that we still do not have a way to transit by cycle between Mons and the Grands Prés.

      Whilst I appreciate the design in a vacuum, the whole context behind it and the fact it is very empty makes it look like a North Korean or Turkmenistan vanity project.

      Something you’d see in a tourism documentary by the State to show outsiders how well off the people are and benevolent the government is.
