15 Juli 2008 - Castrop-Rauxel, Weserstraße. W tym roku udało mi się sfotografować taką perełkę. Nie wiem co to za model Büssinga, ale z pewnością premiera, bo z czego widziałem, to na TWB nie było jeszcze żadnego przeguba. Widać go doskonale na satelicie. Dodam jeszcze, że na boku ma reklamę Chio Chips! Wygląda na równie starą co autobus ;) Oczywiście proszę o pomoc w ustaleniu modelu :)
5 September 2008 - Mainz, Germany – Finthen Romerquelle. Preserved GT6 car 226 poses in front of some interesting modern architecture – I was told it’s a school.
5 September 2008 - Mainz, Germany – Gaustrasse. Spot the tram. Car 209 twists and turns up the fearsome hill out of the city centre. The roads are so narrow here that trams tracks run in two parallel streets.
5 September 2008 - Mainz, Germany – Schillerplatz. Mainz has some tight places for trams around the old city. Here, car 275 squeezes out between the buildings at the bottom of a very steep hill – one of the steepest used by trams anywhere, I’m told.
5 September 2008 - Mainz, Germany – depot/zajezdnia Rheinallee. In the depot is this Westwaggon car, typical of the trams that ran in Mainz in the 1950s and 60s. Retained as a party tram, 97 sees regular use around the city, together with a much older two-axle car.
5 September 2008 - Mainz, Germany - Berlinerstrasse. The preserved GT6 leaves the city centre towards Hechtsheim across a grassed traffic roundabout. Again, you can see the dual-door layout common to all Mainz trams.
5 September 2008 - Mainz, Germany – Hechtsheim Burgerhaus. This GT6 wears a blue advertising livery. Once again, double-sided, double-ended configuration was specified for these latest acquisitions.
5 September 2008 - Mainz, Germany – Hechtsheim Burgerhaus. At the southern terminus of Lines 50 and 51, one of the newest MVG Adtranz cars waits to return to the city. These cars were bought in 1996.
5 September 2008 - Mainz, Germany – Am Wildgraben. Parts of the Mainz tramway are single track, although mostly separated from road traffic. Low-floor car 205 sweeps along a central reservation towards the city centre on a Line 52 service.
5 September 2008 - Mainz, Germany – Finthen Romerquelle. When Mainz bought new low-floor trams to replace their traditional Deuwags, these were also double-ended. Car 206 shunts at the terminus of Line 50.
5 September 2008 - Mainz, Germany- Finthen Poststrasse. Although the long interurban line to Wiesbaden has gone, the city of Mainz has kept a small, metre gauge tramway network and bought new low-floor trams a few years ago. Although the other trams from this batch of 1958 Deuwag cars went to Elblag for further service, one has been retained by MVG and is shown at the Line 51 terminus.
21 November 2008 - Zielona Góra, ul. Chrobrego. MAN przejechał z rozszarpaną oponą od ul. Wrocławskiej aż do ul. Chrobrego przy ul. Mieszka I gdzie ją zgubił. Potem jeszcze pojechał prawie do samego dworca na samej feldze.
6 September 2008 - Darmstadt, Germany – Kirkstrasse. Another view of the preserved Gastell trams, running on roadside track past one of the city churches.
