Commuters stuck in Antwerp Central Station due to fire in nearby street | VRT NWS: news

A major fire in the Vestingstraat on Friday morning led to most of the entrance and exit doors at Antwerp Central station being closed. Only the doors that lead to and from the Pelikaanstraat were meant to have been closed. However, a misunderstanding meant that the doors that lead out onto the Mediaplein were also locked. This in turn meant that passengers were unable to enter or leave the station. Fortunately for them the mistake was quickly resolved.
