Anyone visiting Belgium and into trians knows about the vicinal line which runs along the coast, but not many know about the Tramway Tourisitique d'Aisne www.tta.be

A nice little line situated in a wooded valley, the TTA has a wide collection of metre gauge diesel trams. It's about 50km south of Liege, which also has I'm told a very good transport museum.

Keeping Europe's Routemasters on the road.

I've been to Brussels, which has a very interesting bus/tram/subway integrated network. The subway has 3 lines, 1A, 1B and 2. Lines 1A and 2 use older trains, whilst line 1B uses newer ones. Lines 1A and 1B share tracks during parts of their journey. Also, the tickets are simple. You can buy a ticket, and it will take you all over the network. The catch is, they're on a time limit, e.g. a 1 hour ticket costs more than a 30 minutes ticket. So it's limited by time rather than distance.
