Hi David, video is OK. I don't have much with trams, but still like it. The doors of the trams are rather high positioned? And it looks to me some curves are very narrow?
@Wimzelluv Thanks Wim, Yes agree with the curves in the City Centre Area, but the doors are probably no higher than those on your Ranstadrail line from Rotterdam Lombardlijn to Deb Haag CS, by being where I was does accentuate the door hiegth, once these trams leave the City centre they run on 2 former British Rail lines where there were high platforms
@Lafondue Thank you, that is a problem with street running and unguarded trams, but at least there are only travelling at slow speeds. Who makes them, I don't know but certainly European if not German.
@Lafondue The yellow vehicles (M5000) are produced by bombadier, the green and white's are T68's/T68A's, but I have to say from daily use of this system there is very little good about this system, its constant delays and the disconcern of metrolink at it running at 130% capacity, i just plain dislike the whole thing and honest to god wish the lines were still heavy rail.
