context_page_description: The following is a list of former lines of the Charleroi Metro which are now defunct. These lines operated on the Charleroi Metro starting from the early 1990s until the system's reorganization into the Charleroi Metro in 2012.
  Trams on former Lines 54/55 ran from 05:00 until 20:00, and had train frequencies of:
  Every 10 minutes on weekdays.
  Every 15 minutes on Saturdays, and on weekdays during school holidays.
  Every 20 minutes on Sundays and holidays.
  Trams on former Lines 88/89 ran from 05:30 until 19:00, and had train frequencies of:
  Every 30 minutes on weekdays.
  Every 1 hour on weekends.
  These lines operated before the full opening of the 'central loop' of the Charleroi Metro in central Charleroi in 2012, which led to the inauguration of the currently operating Charleroi Metro lines M1, M2, and M4.
context_section_description: Line 88 was a line on the Charleroi Premetro in Belgium operated by TEC Charleroi, running from Parc station, in downtown Charleroi, to Anderlues (west of Charleroi), via the northern part of the downtown loop.
  Line 88 was inaugurated on 30 August 1996, together with the Waterloo-Parc section of the downtown loop. It was created to duplicate the existing Line 89 between Anderlues and Beaux-Arts, but taking the downtown loop to the North at Beaux-Arts (as opposed to traveling to the South for Line 89).
  Line 88 had a length of 16.35 kilometres (10.16 mi), of which 3.4 kilometres (2.1 mi) were a standard tramline with in-street running (at the Anderlues end), with the remainder of the line running on premetro infrastructure. It had 14 premetro stations and 6 tram stops, and was the longest line of the Charleroi Premetro network along with Line 89.
  Trams drove on the right on the entire line, but on the tram part of the line in Anderlues trams ran on the left, right, or in the middle of the street. A couple of sections of the tram part of the line in Anderlues were single track.
