context_page_description: Brussels-North is one of the three major railway stations in Brussels; the other two are Brussels-Central and Brussels-South. The station's bilingual French–Dutch name is generally translated to Brussels-North. Every regular domestic and international train passing there has a planned stop. The station has 200,000 passengers per week, mainly commuters.
  Brussels-North is the end point of the premetro North–South Axis and an important node of the Brussels Intercommunal Transport Company STIB/MIVB and bus lines of the Flemish transport company De Lijn. More than 30 regional bus lines depart from there, as do international Eurolines coach services.
  The station is located in the Brussels municipality of Schaerbeek, in the middle of the Northern Quarter business district, with several corporation headquarters such as Belgacom Towers, Rogier Tower and others, government offices and Flemish ministries. Right next to the station is Aarschot Street, an area of prostitution "behind windows".
context_section_description: Brussels-North has 12 platforms.  These passenger lines join in the station:
  Line 0, the Brussels North-South connection
  Line 25 and 27 to Antwerp Central station
  Line 36 to Liège-Guillemins
  Line 50 to Gent-Sint-Pieters
  Line 161 to Namur
  Few trains originate from Brussels-North. Instead, most trains through Brussels depart from Brussels-South, some from Schaarbeek.
