The video is about Charleroi and explains that Flanders for budget for a metro so some Walloon city got the budget as well. (70s waffle iron politics)
However, the video fails to mention that the metro lines in Antwerp (Flanders) suffered a similar destiny.
The line under the Turnhoutse baan and the line under the pothoekstraat were fully build but never opened.
In Wallonia the work stopped after lack of funding because of economic downturn in the 70s. In Antwerp there was also an issue because the construction firm failed to get all water out of the tunnels
