Coastal tram does not run between Ostend and Westende-Bad all weekend due to malfunction

The coastal tram route in question has been interrupted in both directions. De Lijn announced this via Twitter around one o’clock this afternoon. Images show that several trams are standing still at Arthur de Greefplein in Middelkerke. According to other media, a fire in a switch box near that square is the cause of the breakdown.
