According to Tommelein, the window rule is now necessary to control the crowds during the Easter holidays. “If you get into a certain situation, you have to take urgent measures. Overcrowded trains in a full pandemic with closed catering establishments and shopping by appointment, then you know that you are going to have problems. Then there must be a measure whereby the trains are only half occupied. “
Tommelein repeats his plea for a registration system for train passengers. “If the NMBS wants to, they will have a perfectly working registration system within a month that everyone will be very satisfied with,” says the mayor of Ostend.
