The metro station opened on 2 October 1988 as (at that time) the terminus of metro line 2 from Simonis. Line 2 has since been extended beyond Brussels-South to Clemenceau in 1993, Delacroix in 2006, and Gare de l'Ouest/Weststation in 2009. Since 1993, the station also accommodates premetro services at separate platforms, with cross-platform interchange between metro and premetro in both directions.
The metro station is located under Brussels-South railway station, the busiest station in Belgium, and the only Brussels stop for international high-speed rail services: Eurostar ICE and TGV.
