Welcome to Access-i

Espace TEC de Charleroi-Central

⚠ If a ticket machine is present, it has not been audited as it is not part of the certification audit. 

⚠ Busy period: mainly at the beginning of the school year. 

Due to the numerous works in the South Station area, this TEC Space is installed in a container. The latter is not easily accessible by road, public transport and the street because of the ongoing pavement and road works.
