Good News: Lüttich ist nun Teil der Straßenbahnwelt

In #Lüttich geht sie nach langer Planung an den Start.

2007 stand der Beschluss zur Planung,
2027 sollte sie an den Start gehen, nun
2024 ist sie am Start 🎁

Ich bin weiterhin gespannt und voller Drang, dass wir Kiel im Zeitplan halten. Ob und wie sehr das gelingen wird, werden wir sehen.

Erstmal feiern wir Lüttich.

BRF NachrichtenDie weiße Schlange: Lüttich hat wieder eine TramEs war eine Schwergeburt, aber eine, die man trotzdem als ein historisches Ereignis gefeiert hat: In Lüttich wurde am Freitag die neue Tram eingeweiht. Die Absicht, sie zu bauen, wurde schon im Jahr 2007 formuliert. Die geplante Fertigstellung im Jahr 2017 wurde aber immer wieder verzögert.

This Is My Glasgow

A stone tramway leading up Cleveden Crescent Lane in the west of Glasgow. Consisting of slabs of smoothed granite, they reduced the friction between cartwheels and cobbled streets, while the setts in between the tramways provided grip for the horses' hooves. This allowed one horse to pull what it would otherwise take two horses to move.

Cont./

A pair of parallel lines of smooth stones leading up a narrow cobbled lane.

Today's historic photo of the day: Works #tram no 10W is the brightest coloured thing in the scene on a winters' day as it turns from Peel Street into William Street, Melbourne, Vic, July 1 1989.

Works trams are no longer seen in Melbourne, but until about 2002 there was a small fleet of these non passenger carrying trams that were used for tasks such as carrying materials between depots, grinding the rails and as in this case, cleaning (or scrubbing) the tracks free of mud, leaves and debris.

A bright yellow liveried single truck tram in the distance approaches a shallow left hand curve. The weather is an overcast and wintry day with the trees lining the city streets having largely lost their leaves. A handful of cars are travelling along the wide street, and there are many cars parked on the sides of the streets.

I hope #tram #tracks qualify for #TrainTrackTuesday 🤔

This is one of the main avenues of #Magdeburg, Breiter Weg, with the #GrüneZitadelle ("Green Citadel") by #Hundertwasser.

I did a sightseeing tour in a double decker bus with kiddo yesterday (an Easter gift) and of course this was one of the attractions - the trees of the #building are getting greener and greener, I must come back soon and show you! 😊

A vibrant, quirky pink building, the Grüne Zitadelle (Green Citadel), dominates the right side of the frame under a bright blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds. Its undulating facade features numerous irregularly shaped windows and golden onion domes atop its towers. Trees with bare branches peek out from behind and on top of the building. To the left, a more conventional yellow and grey apartment building stands in contrast. A grassy tramway track runs across the foreground, flanked by a grey pavement and a road with white lane markings. Several people are visible walking along the pavement and crossing the tram tracks. Parking signs are visible near the Grüne Zitadelle. Overhead tram wires crisscross the sky.

I should add that Z-class trams are not particularly amazing vehicles by modern standards, BUT they were significant because their construction signalled the moment you could be sure that Melbourne's tram network was going to survive the post-war abandonment of trams in Australia, UK, USA etc. Phew. Thanks, Z-class.

Today's historic photo of the day: Melbourne Z3 class #tram 145 on route 75 from City to East Burwood runs east along Riversdale Road at Loch Street, Hawthorn East, Vic, early/mid 1986.

Hawthorn East is in Melbourne's eastern suburbs about 9km from the city. This section of track is served by two routes: 70 and 75. Route 75 branches south-east at Camberwell Junction, which is just a couple of stops ahead of the tram in this photo, whilst route 70 continues along Riversdale Rd to Wattle Park.

A black and white image of a Melbourne Z3 class electric tram in original condition with trolley poles and white on black roll desto and route route number boxes, runs towards us along a suburban residential street with a handful of cars travelling or parked on the street.

La nuova primavera del #tram in Italia

Dopo le critiche ai tram milanesi ecco una buona notizia: le reti tranviarie stanno nascendo e crescendo in molte parti d'Italia, e le linee recenti come quelle di #Padova e #Firenze hanno avuto successo, con capacità saturate in pochi anni.

Can't wait for the new rail line under Melbourne's CBD to open, it's much needed. I keep boarding Elizabeth Street trams headed for the hospital precinct & Melbourne Uni which are absolutely packed, even in the middle of the day (I'm on one now). The new line should take away some of that traffic.

Today's historic photo of the day: Ballarat #tram no 26 runs a Ballarat Tramway Preservation Society heritage trip along Wendouree Pde, Lake Wendouree, Vic, December 29 1989

Ballarat was, until 1971, served by an electric tram network run by the State Electricity Commission of Victoria. Trams weren't seen by the SEC as core business, having been inherited from a private electricity company predecessor who'd built them in the early 20th century in part to promote use of their electricity product

A single truck single trolleypole drop-end California Combination style electric tram car painted in chocolate livery with cream lining, lettering and rocker panels, runs away from us along a side-of-road section of single track tramway adjacent to parkland. The tram is displaying the fleet number 26 on its rear apron, and the desto is displaying St Aidans Dve in black letting on a white coloured background.
