Just back from a 5-day break in Brussels and I have to say, I wasn't that impressed with their Metro system - not nearly as well-signposted as it should be - they could learn a lesson from London in that respect. And the signage in the stations was poor as well - one of the stations currently being refurbished (Arts-Loi, if I remember rightly) had hardly any station name signs visible from the train. And the overall impression of the system was brown - most of the train interiors have brown faux-leather seating and drab colours on the walls. Made me aware of just how we take the London system for granted!

I was last there a couple of years ago and below are two comments from that visit. Given a choice I would choose the seating options in their fully articulated metro trains - because passengers had a choice of both transverse facing seats (groups of four) and in different carriages longitudinal seating (as per S 7 and 378 trains here in London). Also, I would wish that the next train describers here in London provided the same information as theirs - as per image below and YouTube below. Why? passengers can actually see where the trains are!
