Six Belgian municipalities demand half-hourly rail service on line 54

Six Flemish municipalities jointly request a structural increase in train frequency on railway line 54 between Sint-Niklaas and Mechelen, along with accessible platforms at all stations. The request targets NMBS, Infrabel, and the federal government, indicating a coordinated local push for improved regional rail infrastructure. The outcome depends on government funding and operator capacity, with no immediate commitment announced.
