Location

The railway station is located in Faux, Court-Saint-Étienne, Walloon Brabant, Belgium.[1] Faux station is located at kilometric point 7.30 on line 140, from Ottignies to Marcinelle (Charleroi), between the stations of Court-Saint-Étienne and La Roche.

History

The Belgian State Railways Administration put the stopping point of Faux into service on August 1, 1901. It was originally a simple stopping point depending on the station of La Roche.[2]

In 1909, this stopping point became a full stop; a building, equipped with a counter and facilities for unloading parcels and goods, was built at this time.

Faux became an unmanned stopping point again in 1964.[2] The station building has since been demolished.

Faux is served by SNCB Suburban (S61) (Réseau express régional de Charleroi [fr]), Heure de pointe ("Rush Hour") (P) and Tourist ("Touristiques") (ICT) trains moving on line 140 (Charleroi-Sud - Ottignies).[3]
