Today, whilst getting pictures of the Tramlink replacement bus service, I decided to use this time to do some Tram observations. The main highlight of my obs was speaking to a nice man and being allowed in the cab. I also got given infomation about how 5 more all over adverts will be placed on the tram and that how lower speed limits due to the new trams being heavier weight means that the swiveling bogies on the existing trams may bring them to a halt as the new trams have fixed bogies with a motor on each set of wheels. I also got told that the new trams may not operate Route 4, but will operate on all parts of the network. I also got told that if an extension to Crystal Palace were to get the go ahead, the new Variobahn's would have to work it due to steep gradients. I hope you enjoy reading this post.
