About Belgian coast by tram
Belgium's coastal tramline runs from the train station ofKnokke-Heist, viaZeebrugge, Blankenberge,Ostend,NieuwpoortandKoksijde, to De Panne, making it possible to visit almost all of the Belgian coast, excluding some bits towards the borders with theNetherlandsandFrance. The 67-km-long route sees some 16.5 million passengers per year travel on the line. The modern-day tramway was formed from several lines of the Belgian Local Tramways (Dutch:Nationale Maatschappij van BuurtspoorwegenorNMVBfor short), with the first construction of lines taking place around 1885, connectingOstendandNieuwpoort-Dorp. The NMBS (Belgian National Rail) operated many other lines branching off of what is now the Kusttram, most of which have since disappeared. The line was, and to this day largely is single-tracked
