 Hello, thank you for joining me. I'm just standing by one of Lisbon's funicular tramways, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to be running, so I'm not actually in prison, I'm just standing outside. So let's hope we have to walk this one, which is a bit of a shame, because I was hoping to take you for a ride down it, but there's two others, so we will hopefully do those. So as you can see this tram goes down, it's counterbalanced against another one, so what we'll do, we'll walk down, seeing as we can take the tram down, and we'll have a look at the, we'll see if we can find the other one at the bottom. So up here we've got route 25, down at the bottom it connects with route 28, then what I'll do when I've done this, I'll go and find the other two, see if they're running. If you look over there you can see the stages, distance, and if you look above there are wires, the wires don't actually power the trams, they are purely for the lighting and the communication. So at the moment we have what appears to be a thick trail, it's actually two sets of free rails, because this pole here, that is where the cable is, this is where the wheels sit, another set wheels sit there, another set wheels there, cable more, so it'll become a bit more obvious when we get to the parking loop just down here. So it's quite unique, this is to Lisbon, there are obviously other funicular railways that work in this way, but I don't know of any others apart from in Lisbon that are actually funicular trams, so as in cars, and obviously pedestrians I'm doing now can walk along the same tracks, all the other funicular railways I've come across, some are a lot steeper than this, but you can't walk on the actual track where the funicular carriage is run, but as you can see we're descending quite a lot, so it really is quite a lot higher where Route 28 is than where Route 25 is. I got on the tram on Route 28 at Estrella where there's a turning loop and that's where Route 25 and Route 28 join together. The steepest that is, I don't know if I want to drive down these streets and then here you always look like a rollercoaster, it just disappears in front of us, the track is incredibly steep now, looks like we can't actually go right through to where Route 25 is because it's like a little shed and all the doors of the walk perhaps go right up to the doors, this is really something like I've never seen before, if it was wet this would be incredibly slippery, what I'm going to do when I get back up to the top, I'm either going to get a tram or walk and we'll go and find one of the other funiculars hopefully that one will be running. Let's go right down as I'm supposed to do this, I'm going to go right up to the door so we can have a look at the other tram car. So one top was a bit covered in graffiti, the other one, this one looks in a better condition. I'll tell you in Mediterranean when you see oranges lying on the floor, there's an orange tree just up there. So if you look through there, you can see it but there is the other tram car. So I'm going to now walk up this incredibly steep tramway and I'm going to go and find the other funiclo trams. If you have a travel car then you just touch it on that and you don't have any extras, that's the best way to do it. I'm just looking forward so unlike the other one it's a level carriage but with the wheels apparently on the slope. I'm going to let you have a quick look out the window. I'm going to film the journey down so you can see all the journeys down. I also do a bit of filming of the trams going up and down as well so time to go down. I'm going to try and find the next funicular waiting to go up the hill and there is to go down the hill so I'm glad. So the next funicular we're heading for is somewhere in that direction so I'm going to go over that. Here we go, see I came down on number one. Coming down to one of Lisbon's many squares. They do say that Lisbon like Rome is built on seven hills. I certainly believe that with all these funiculars and these trams they've got going up and down. So one of the main squares. I'm going to go and find the other funicular now. Leave you with a last look of the one we've just come down on. There we go. Looking for this funicular. We probably aren't far, probably somewhere, going to be somewhere along here. Oh yeah there we are. Going into the question where it is, found it. So it looks very similar to the other one. Let's go and have a look. Again, bit too much graffiti for my life. So yeah I'm going to have to go and get on it. Again it looks like it's interlaced track and then they separate. Just up there so yes, we've descended. So we've arrived at the top of the funicular and it's more like a station. It's got like little platforms. You go up these steps which will take you out. The others have been more like tram stops but this one's more like an actual station. If we go down into the other platform, get a better view of the tram we've just come up. Now it must be that it's slightly steeper here. It is down the bottom with that if you can see it but the floor in the tram is facing slightly downwards. So yeah here we are at the top of the third and final funicular also. Just like Lisbon and most of Portugal has a lot of ceramic. So I hope you enjoyed this video from the Lisbon tramways.
