Central loop
The "central loop" of the Charleroi Metro is grade separated (except in the vicinity of Tirou) and thus is the portion of the network that effectively operates as an almost fully metro-standards rapid transit system. There are 9 stations on the central loop, and these are served by all four Charleroi Metro lines:

Châtelet line: Line M5: Not completed
The following 4 stations are found on the unfinished line to Châtelet. These out-of-service stations were completed in late 1980s but never opened for service. There were 4 more stations planned (construction of some of them started but did not finish) but the line has been abandoned, and the surface building of the Centennaire station was demolished in 2010s (while the underground structure still remains intact). In early 2021 a decision was made to finish and open the line (see Charleroi Metro § Châtelet branch for more details).
