Location edit
The railway station is located in Faux, Court-Saint-Étienne, Walloon Brabant, Belgium.[1] Faux station is located at kilometric point 7.30 on line 140, from Ottignies to Marcinelle (Charleroi), between the stations of Court-Saint-Étienne and La Roche.
History edit
The Belgian State Railways Administration put the stopping point of Faux into service on 1 August 1901. It was originally a simple stopping point depending on the station of La Roche.[2]
In 1909, this stopping point became a full stop; a building, equipped with a counter and facilities for unloading parcels and goods, was built at this time.
Faux became an unmanned stopping point again in 1964.[2] The station building has since been demolished.

Faux is served by SNCB Suburban (S61) (Réseau express régional de Charleroi), Heure de pointe ("Rush Hour") (P) and Tourist ("Touristiques") (ICT) trains moving on line 140 (Charleroi-Sud - Ottignies).[3]
