Same with me, I have only an hourly Bus-connection (5 minutes walk to the stop) from my home to the nearest Train-station (5 Minutes journey), Trains depart every 10/20 minutes, but then it's a 35 minutes journey by train to my job. Well, I WORK for public transit here as a motorman, (you may have g...

Meanwhile, even a stored old 8axle, articulated tram has re-entered service. Runs like a fine watch.

Hi there, even for me, as a native speaker, it's difficult to decrypt this unusual term "Entwurfsangestellte(r)". I can only guess, that this means a person who's in charge for doing drafts ("Entwürfe") or draftsheets ("Entwurfs-pläne/-zeichnungen") for further developi...

I think, this picture https://up.picr.de/41139924em.jpg shows best, what to do, when Pans and Poles have to interact.

Okay. The ill-fatet ICE-TD (Diesel-ICE with Tilting technology) began service in 2001, but were withdrawn (for the first time) as soon as 2003, due to technical problems. After being sidelined for 3 years, service started again in 2007, more or less reliable, but was finally doomed in 2017. By the e...

Have fun and stay healthy.

The illborn German ICE-TD (Tilting Diesel HST) Class 605 is fading away.
One of the units on its last way can be seen here:

Dr. Dieter Ludwig, one of the leading figures in the developement of modern trams, like the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tram-train has passed away yesterday, one day after his 81st birthday. He was bord on board of a train, which seems prophetic for his later life and work. https://www.ardmediathe...

Good morning:
Although I'm quite familiar with the cable car technology, I have no clue what that slot (marked in the picture) is for:

Maybe someone can help me solving this mystery.
Thanxx.

Wow. Less than two years old, and no parts support. Seems like they're just ripping up all the contracts. Is that new? I remember, that the "well known" USLRVs, made by Boeing, were cannibalized even when new. :wink: And how long did it take until the first BREDA-LRVs in San Francisco wer...

Hi David, when the services were thinned out in the last weeks to a 20 Minutes headway, which meant almost 50%, the "surplus" single trains were coupled to double units the whole day, so there was a 200% capacity during a 50% service. Routes 1, 4/4a (combined) and 5 (4/4a and 5 are the &qu...

Germany: As I can say by now, Public Transport in the Heidelberg-Area is about to resume to normal schedule (5/10 Minutes Headway) , expect the night-services, those will remain suspended. Means, services end around 00:30, normally around 01:50. But you must wear a protective-mask while on your way.
