Works at Brussels Midi station will see around 40 rush hour trains hit by cancellations, reroutes or changes for a month from mid-October, it was announced. 

Around 10 P trains will be cancelled, while 30 will be diverted to another Brussels station or limited in their route for the month. These changes are to allow for improvements to be made to signalling, and will be run from October 14 to November 12, SNCB and Infrabel have said in a statement.
