Kiev trams, route 18

This route goes from railway station to city center. Video filmed in reverse order, from center to railway station.
Kiev is one of cities which will take EURO 2012, a football championship.
As you can see the trams is in really bad condition. And given that, Kiev is not an ordinary city - it is the capital of Ukraine!

Уважаемый, а что у вас за камера?

[shtetc]

@aleksecond Canon HV30

[aleksecond]

@shtetc спасибо. Хороша чертовка, жаль цен нигде нет.

@aleksecond Она уже три года как снята с производства. Вам подойдет любая современная HD видеокамера 2011 года, они снимают гораздо лучше этой.

The same trams drives here in Leipzig.

Interesting to take a look to Kiew. I have visit the city 1984.

@Bidone1967 They are similar but not are same as yours. Leipzig have T4DM - they have a more modern electrical equipment and they body are narrower than our T3SU to 30cm

@shtetc Та я уже "обжегся" - купил Samsung T10,а у него экран отвалился на второй день. Теперь просто боюсь, да и посоветоваться не с кем - какую выбрать.

@hkseed Actually, you are right, tram tracks in Kiev haven't fixed more than 10 years! Practically, with the collapse of the Soviet Union no one in Kiev did not do capital repair of streets with tram traffic. The rails are worn more than 80%!

@premiumexpert Yes, i also love that sounds. And you are absolutely right, the electrical scheme (and not only it) of PCC trams was copied by Tatra in its firs model T1. For Soviet Union, Tatra produce T3 trams with identical electrical equipment as in T1 and T2 model it was used, and actually they named it T3SU (SU means for Soviet Union). This requires the customer for greater unification and ease of repair existing trams. On environmental protection in that country, nobody care

@netherlands1999 Yes, in 2011. And it's very sad, that in XXI century in capital of Ukraine trams are in such bad condition :(
