de-swa-m8c-hbf-091015-full.jpg

The tram type Augsburg M8c has two drivers' cabs and doors on both sides, so it doesn't need a proper turnaround loop. These are the only Augsburg trams with two cabs. Augsburg is already trying to get rid of these high-floor types. Some of them have been sold to Elblag in Poland and some others to Darmstadt. There were originally 12 of these trams and five were already sold 2012-13.

Dresden has today 14 tramlines and close to 200 trams. The network is operated by the Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe, a part of the city itself. After the communist times the tram network was in a desolate condition and it is a wonder how nicely services have been restored by now.

hanvr7.jpg

Class 6000 Hannover trams run in the city center underground in a metro like fashion. While stopping at the high metro style platforms, they only open a part of their doors, thereby creating a level low-floor entry for passengers. While stopping at the street level stops, the trams can also open the lower part of their doors together with stairs.

Trams of Leipzig - Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe

de-lv-t3-hauptbahnhof-160718-full.jpg

The classic tram of Leipzig, a Tatra T3 from communist times long gone by. These trams were once abundant across all of the communist block countries of Europe, but nowadays an unmodernised Tatra T3 like here is a rarity - although this one has at some point of time received at least new lamps and a more modern line number and destination sign system. Tatra wagons are nowadays used in Leipzig mostly only at rush hours and mostly as three wagon trains as here. Notice how the second, similar Tatra T3 has its pantograph down as it is used merely as an addtonal unmotorised wagon.
Picture from Leipzig Hauptbahnhof 16.7.2018 by Ilkka Siissalo.

de-lv-tatra_trailer-hauptbahnhof-160718-full.jpg

As mentioned above, old Tatra T3 trams are mostly used in Leipzig today as three wagon trains. Typically the last wagon is a new one with a low-floor section. These low-floor new trailer coaches were first made for the city of Rostock, but as Rostock received more and more of new trams and could get rid of its communist-time Tatra wagons, they could sell some of the new trailers to Leipzig. This trailer wagon is a Bombardier 4NBWE built in 2013 for Rostock.

Picture from Leipzig Hauptbahnhof 16.7.2018 by Ilkka Siissalo.

de-lvb-1323-leipzig_hbf-160718-full.jpg

In 2003-04 there were still not enough modern trams in Leipzig and there was not enough money to buy a large series of some of the most common Western German types, so the Leipzigers started making their own new trams. The model became known as the Leoliner or NGTW6L. They were built by the company LEOLINER Fahrzeug-Bau Leipzig GmbH. Two prototypes appeared on the streets of Leipzig in 2004 and from December 2005 to 2009 a total of 50 Leoliners were taken in use. They were not very good trams, there were a lot of troubles with them, but they are still in 2018 in use on lines 3, 7, 11 and 14, on all other lines as a coupled pair, but on line 14 normally solo. This is a solo Leoliner on line 14.

de-lvb-1007-leipzig_hbf-160718-full.jpg

This tram no.1007 is one of Leipzig's most modern trams. It was built by the company Solaris in what formerly was the German city of Breslau, but what today is Wroclaw, part of Poland. It is of the type NGT10-XL and this is still one of the prototypes, the first of which were delivered in 2016. It's 38 meters long and can take 220 passengers.

Trams of Nordhausen / Nordhausen Stadtwerke

de-sn-combino104-nordhausen-010719-full.jpg

Nordhausen is a small town in former East Germany, in Thüringen (Thuringia). Nordhausen has three tram lines. They are all operated by short Siemens Combino trams, which Nosdhausen Stadtwerke has in several variants. All variants are only three pieces long. This one, number 104, belongs to a series of only two trams with just one driver's cab and doors only on one side. These two are made by Siemens in 2002.

de-sn-23+59-nordhausen-010719-full.jpg

Nordhausen has also a couple of old historic trams left from the communist DDR times and the preceding Nazi times. No.23 is from the year 1934. It was built in Wismar. No.59 partly visible behind it is one of the famous "Gotha" wagons of DDR and it has formerly been in the city of Erfurt. It is from the year 1961. It is now set up as a bistro or partywagon.

de-sn-combinoduo202-bahnhofsplatz_nordhausen-150412-falk2-full.jpg

Nordhausen's newest, third tram line no.10 is kind of exotic. It runs from Nordhausen to the town of Ilfeld using mostly the narrow gauge train tracks of Harzer Schmalspurbahnen HSB's trains. On those lines no catenary wires exist. For this purpose three Siemens Combino Duo trams have been ordered which have in their middle section a small diesel engine allowing them to operate on the train line.

These Tatra KT4D trams are still from East German communist times. They have no low floor space and no airconditioning, so it is to be expected that they will be retired soon, but some of them were still partly modernised as late as 2011.

Saarbahn

de-saarbahn-1007-saarbrücken-120710-full.jpg

Sarbahn is a tram / light rail system which operates around the city of Saarbrücken in western Germany. It's a so called tram-train which runs on its own tracks in the city but also runs on regular train tracks both inside Germany and also into neighbouring France. The operator of Saarbahn is the company Stadtbahn Saar GmbH. Saarbahn's trains run with 750V DC inside the city but can also run under 15 kV AC when running on railway lines. The main line extends to Sarreguemines in France. These trains are Flexity Link tram-trains built by Bombardier.

Trams of Ulm

de-ulmtrams-44-hbf-140916-full.jpg

The city of Ulm has currently only two tram lines and actually they also are just end to end, one long line. There was earlier a plan for five lines, but a local voting turned it down. All the trams are Siemens Combinos or the newer Siemens Avenios. Avenio is the successor model built based on the Combino.

This tram no. 44 is one of the Combinos, here on line 1, just leaving the main station.

Trams of Würzburg - Würzburger Straßenbahn GmbH

de-wsb-gtn_257-hauptbahnhof-100723-full.jpg

This is the so far newest tram type of the city of Würzburg, called GT-N. This model was Würzburg's first totally low-floor tram type and it was built by a consortium of Siemens and Linke-Hoffman-Busch. There have been repeated and serious technical problems with this type and since 11/2023 and maybe even until 2025 they have all been pulled out of service. This picture is from July 2023 when still a part of them were being used in regular traffic.

de-wsb-gtwd8-hauptbahnhof-100723-full.jpg

One of Würzburg's old GTW-D8 trams. These old trams were built by Düwag 1967-68. This one is from a series built in 1968. When they were new, they had only six axles, but they in 1982 got an added middle section changing the type from GTW-D6 to GTW-D8. The added middle section added also so much extra eight to the trams that a second motor was deemed necessary as well. But even with two motors they still cannot be used on the tram line up a steep hill to Heuchelhof, they are too weak for that steep slope.

The same old Düwag tram seen from behind. They were built so that they have a full set of doors only on the right hand side, but they can still temporarily be used driving in the other direction. The driver has a possibility to control the wagon also from its back, but he/she doesn't have a proper seat there. At the very back of the tram there is one pair of doors on both sides.

This picture shows how the tram has one pair of doors that can be used if it is temporarily being used "the wrong way". Today these doors "on the wrong side" are not used any more and they are permanently blocked.

In 1975 Würzburg got eight more Düwag trams which were already at the factory built as eight axles long models. They differ slightly from the older series, for example they have different doors.

Würzburg's tram type GT-E. These trams were delivered 1988-89 by Siemens and Linke-Hoffman-Busch. These were needed as the city of Würzburg opened a new tram line which climbs very steeply uphill to Heuchelhof. These trams have a low-floor middle section and exceptionally strong motors.
