This is the day of the Tatras


NGT6 1315

235 views

Well, you guessed right - another small round of photos from Leipzig :D . The duty rosters were still a bit out of the ordinary today - few NGT12 sets were out, except for lines 7 and 15, line 12 was still served by single Leoliners and line 16 by NGT8 sets and at least two or three Tatra sets. I have no idea whether there might be any serious issues with the NGT12, though.

Having ridden down to Connewitz Kreuz I first snapped NGT8 car 1118 "Friedrich List" on line 9 to Markkleeberg West...

...and then changed for line 11 to head down to the Dölitz tram depot, or "Straßenbahnhof", as the LVB call it. Line 11 operates between Schkeuditz and Markkleebrg Ost and is augmented by line 11E which works only the section between Wahren and the Dölitz tram depot. At Dölitz, the 11E reverses through the depot. This here is Tatra T4D-M motor car 2147 and another such unit, having just arrived as a 11E service. Not all T4D cars have been given the full refurbishment package, though. The rear one is one of these and is lacking the air conditioning unit. These partial refurbishments carry vehicle numbers in the 2000 range, whereas the fully refurbished ones have numbers in the 2100 range.

And finally one of the Tatra services on line 16, seen here in the shape of motor car 2125 and a NB4 trailer on their way to Lößnig at Eutritzscher Markt.

I am enjoying following your blog!

I must admit, I don't think i've ever ridden on a tram, nor seen one outside of museums. :blink:

Glad you're enjoying your vacation.

Make sure you do ride one when you travel over to the Continent some day :) . And as a hint - Leipzig's a good place for it!
