The premetro and tram route 7 in Brussels, Belgium, is a tram route operated by STIB/MIVB, which connects the Vanderkindere stop in the southern municipality of Uccle with the Heizel/Heysel stop in Laeken in the City of Brussels, where connecting services of tram route 51, Metro line 6, as well as bus routes 84 and 88 depart. The colour of the signage for this line is bright yellow.

History

This line was created on 14 March 2011, replacing tram routes 23 and 24. Routes 23 and 24 followed the same trajectory between Vanderkindere and Princesse Elisabeth/Prinses Elizabeth, where route 23 deviated towards Schaarbeek railway station, one stop further. Together with tram routes 3, 4, 8 and 9, it is one of five 'chrono' lines, which means that it is served by low-floor high-capacity trams with a high frequency. The low line number chosen for the new line shows that it is either a metro line or a 'chrono' line.
