OK, I just checked the Brussels station map on-line and there is an Eddy Merckx stop at the end of the Erasmus-Stockel line way down SW of
town. It's also just down the line from the Jacques Brel station too.
I hope this helps folks who want to make a quest. best, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives Vancouver, B.C.
PS: Thanks for the heads up on the post, but I don't need any more for
the time being. If any listie wins it and needs it picked up and shipped just ask.
