Duewag GT6 #615
27 August 2011 - Poznań, zajezdnia Forteczna. Spotkanie dwóch wagonów prawie-historycznych z okazji drobnego przejazdu klubowego.
ME GT4 #561
9 Juli 2011 - A rather battered local road between Sambateni and Ghioroc - this is definitely the most scenic part of the interurban line from Arad.

21 Dezember 2010 - Strausberg near Berlin - a suburban tram that runs according to mainline rail rules is approaching the terminus at the S-Bahn station Strausberg.

26 Juni 2010 - City of London, Tower Hill. Mercedes Citaros in London are pretty much history - maybe except the suburban 203 from Hounslow to Staines and the Red Arrow routes. That crazy bastard that is still mayor until May put hydrogen buses on this route. Of course only about half of the fleet are ever out and about...

6 Juni 2010 - Bremen, Obernstrasse. Despite it being a Sunday the trams on routes 2 and 3 run past the empty pedestrian zone every 10 minutes.
MAN NG320 Lion`s City GL #4592
6 Juni 2010 - Bremen, Am Brill. After a short flirt with Solaris products, the heads of the BSAG decided, that while they want to continue buying buses manufactured in the Poznań area, they would rather prefer a different make. And so they started buying MANs with a rather comically programmed display - they really couldn't make the font any bigger, could they? :)

AEG GT8N #3045
6 Juni 2010 - Bremen, Markt. During my university alumni reunion I managed to eke out a few hours to take a couple of pics. Here we see what I like most about the place - a tram going straight through the market square, passing the historical City Hall, with hordes of pedestrians and cyclists running around freely next to the tracks.

7 April 2010 - Eberswalde-Finow, Frankfurter Allee. Today the main tasks of the trolleybuses are to ferry the people living in the Brandenburgisches Viertel estate to the train station and the town centre. In this picture the electric motor of the display is buzzing away while trying to change the destination displayed. Overall it's a pretty nice little network, but why do they insist on buying buses with four doors, when you can only enter in the front?

7 April 2010 - Eberswalde, Ostend loop. While trying to ride on the second line, I was chatted up by the driver of the vehicle, after I took its photo. He turned out to be a fan. We ended up with a long discussion about trolleybuses and the history of the town - and when we got to the terminus we started playing around with the destination display. Finow Post is where they were planning to erect the wires up to the mid-90s. I think that with regard to network extensions, the BBG is satisfied with the current status quo.

26 März 2010 - York, St. Leonard’s Place. W Londynie tamtejsze ulice okazały się być podobno zbyt wąskie dla przegubowcow. Po średniowiecznym centrum Yorku poruszają się za to od lat bez większych problemów. Nie ma to jak polityka…

23 März 2010 - Sheffield, Commercial Street. When building the network in Sheffield it was decided not to fight the terrain profile. Instead, Duewag was asked to supply distant relatives of Stuttgart DT8s, and gave them large sandboxes. On the right one of the biggest and more infamous blocks in Sheffield during its demolition.

Mercedes-Benz O530 #831
15 März 2010 - Oxford, Queen Street. On one hand the council in Oxford is very progressive when it comes to public transport. They built large P&R places, they made the operators reduce the number of buses in the city centre due to congestion, and they pedestrianised this bus-only street in the centre. On the other hand, they do not think about electric public transport at all - attaching the wires to the historic buildings or constructing poles in the narrow streets in the centre. And sadly - as the photo shows - when you have pedestrianised areas with buses the pedestrians always prefer to get into the shot rather than walk on the 'roadway'.

6 März 2010 - London Borough of Haringey, Green Lanes. This Citaro can sleep easy for now - the 'dearticulation' of route 29 is planned only for next year. The bendy has just left the Turkish part of Green Lanes, which is home to many a good kebab shop.
Mercedes-Benz O530G #MA150
12 September 2009 - London Borough of Haringey, Wood Green depot. The 29 does not need to be afraid of being 'double-deckered' this year. However it will be DD before the olympics! In any case, I wonder what would happen if the next tender for the 29 was won by a different company - would Arriva let them turn around in their depot?

30 August 2009 - London, City of Westminster, Piccadilly. Oh I will miss these... And once again a round of applause is due for Boris Johnson for creating another public transport monster. According to http://www.londonbusroutes.net the new route 38 currently has a PVR of 70 double-deckers, and the cost of all this is around £4m a year. The owner of the bendies has such a massive problem with selling the large stock of 5-year-old bendies, that they even put up a website - http://www.bendy-bus.com, where they even offer rebuilding the buses for left-hand drive. Anyone in Silesia up for it? :)

ABB 1992 Stock #91303
24 Mai 2009 - Central Line, between Epping and Theydon Bois stations. Sadly, the finesse of the French-sounding name of the town appears to be lost on its mainly Essex-accented inhabitants, as well as the lady announcing the stops on the Central Line. On a very warm May day a unit gives it all it's got on its way towards Central London.

ABB 1992 Stock #91052
24 Mai 2009 - Central Line, between Roding Valley and Chigwell, Essex. On a lovely may day an empty working runs towards Hainault depot on a very rural stretch of the route operated normally every 15 minutes. The route itself was once a "normal" suburban railway, taken over by London Underground during the "New Works" programme in the late 40s. The eastern portions of the Central Line still feel very much like a railway, thanks to the lovely station buildings and route sections like this one.

Yeah, I`m really sorry for all the cars in the shot, but hell - couldn`t have done it any other way :P Train no. 12 on run no. 12 has almost reached the Vohwinkel loop. Most of the Schwebebahn route runs over the river Wupper - only the last few stations in the west of the city are above a street.

Fortunately, this is one of the safest railway systems in the world - the only fatal accident since the railway opened in 1901 happened in 1999 when a train derailed on a piece of scaffolding left by track workers and plunged into the river below.

14 August 2008 - Lille, szlak żółtej linii metra C.H.R. Oscar Lambret – Porte des Postes… Metro automatyczne w Lille nie zrobiło na mnie dobrego wrażenia – owszem, jest szybkie (byłoby jeszcze szybsze gdyby przystanki nie były co 400m…), częste i zadbane, ale jak dla mnie jest to przerost formy nad treścią… Możliwe też, że sieć była planem ratunkowym dla państwowego koncernu zbrojeniowego MATRA, co i tak nie uchroniło tej firmy od przejęcia przez Siemensa…

Generalnie fajne miasto, ale skoro już chcą mieć wsiadanie tylko z przodu, to niech sobie załatwią odpowiednie ku temu autobusy! To co, że firma kupuje śliczne nowe MANy, jak do środka wchodzi się tylko POŁÓWKĄ pierwszych drzwi… Dlaczego nie postawiono na kupno taboru i systemu biletowego (karty magnetyczne potrzebujące ok. 2 sekund na skasowanie) dostosowanego do potrzeb przedsiębiorstwa? Do tego jeszcze cienkie rozkłady (pokazujące tylko czasy odjazdu na krańcach) i kompletne rozregulowanie częstotliwości ze względu na wsiadanie z przodu… Ech ten ślepy pęd do nowoczesności…

Neoplan N122/3L #50112
15 Juni 2008 - London Borough of Hillingdon, Western Avenue. An Oxford Tube double-decker has just entered London, having crossed the Green Belt. Sometimes you just can't help liking free competition on the road. Stagecoach invested quite heavily in their coach fleet (the lower deck is even low-floor and wheelchair accessible!), which runs every 10-15 minutes between Oxford and London, even offering free WiFi internet. The journey time is around 100 minutes, the fare is £12 standard, £9 for students. In contrast, the railways have around 2 tph, journey time is an hour and a bit, but a standard fare is a whopping £22.50. Thus, Oxford Tube has successfully swept through the student market and has become so popular, that the Oxford Bus Company decided to run its own service, the Oxford Espress - same frequency, same fares, and free WiFi as well. The only people pissed off by these developments are probably the Londoners, which have to suffer extra half-empty coaches 'littering' the way between Victoria and the A40.

25 Mai 2008 - London, probably the London Borough of Redbridge, north side of Woodford station. Most of the Eastern section of the Central Line reminds me of a quiet, sleepy suburban railway. And rightly so - until the late 40s this was a regular haunt of steam-hauled suburbans of the Great Eastern Railway.
