French: Gare du Midi|italic=no (French) or Dutch; Flemish: Zuidstation|italic=no (Dutch) is a rapid transit station in Brussels, Belgium, consisting of both a metro station (on the southern segment of lines 2 and 6) and a premetro (underground tram) station (serving lines 3 and 4 on the North–South Axis between Brussels-North railway station and Albert premetro station).
The metro station opened on 2 October 1988 as the southern terminus of line 2 from Simonis. Line 2 has since been extended beyond French: Gare du Midi|italic=no/Dutch; Flemish: Zuidstation|italic=no to Clemenceau in 1993, Delacroix in 2006, and Gare de l'Ouest/Weststation in 2009. Since 3 December 1993, the station has also accommodated North–South Axis premetro services at separate platforms, with cross-platform interchange between metro and premetro in both directions. Then, following the reorganisation of the Brussels Metro on 4 April 2009, it is served by lines 2, 3, 4 and 6.[1] [2] [3] [4]
The metro station is located under Brussels-South railway station, the busiest station in Belgium, and the only Brussels stop for international high-speed rail services Eurostar (including the former Thalys) and TGV.
The South Tower, the tallest building in Belgium,[5] stands in front of the station's main exit (the crossroad of the Avenue Fonsny/Fonsnylaan and the French: Rue Couverte|italic=no/Dutch; Flemish: Bedektestraat|italic=no) and houses the Belgian Federal Pensions Service (FPS).[6]
