BRUSSELS, April 25 -- The Brussels Maelbeek Metro Station reopened on Monday morning and Brussels metro is running normally again.

According to the spokesman of the League of Intercommunaux Transport of Brussels (STIB), Francoise Ledune, all Brussels metro stations are functional and subway runs at usual time before the attacks.

However, the access to the stations remains so far limited to two entries, and the police and military are providing security on the spot.

A wall of remembrance was installed in Maelbeek to allow travelers to comment. Some 200 people affected by the attacks and relatives of victims were able to visit the station which specially opened for them two days before its return to service.

On March 22, two explosions at Brussels airport and another one at Maelbeek metro station near the European Union institutions killed more than 30 people and injured another 300.
