The beautiful and unique Battlefield Rest Tram Shelter on the Southside of Glasgow. Designed by Frank Burnet and Boston, it was opened in 1915. The original plan was to have similar shelters across the city's extensive tram network, but this was the only one which was ever built.
Today's historic #photo of the day: Exactly 38 years ago today, 1951-built Melbourne W6 class #tram 973, still in green and cream livery and still fitted with trolley-poles, running a route 67 Carnegie to City trip, pulls away from the Bambra Road stop in Glen Huntly Road, Caulfield South, Vic, May 4 1986.
Route 67 runs from Melbourne City via Swanston Street, St Kilda Road, Brighton Road, Glen Huntly Road and Truganini Road to its terminus at Carnegie Koornang Road.
Ein #Zürcher heute in #Basel - unbefleckt jeglicher Rivalität und freundeidgenössischer Neckerei, der Besuch zielt auf ein vielleicht letztes Treffen mit seiner Gotte, welche vor einiger Zeit demenzbedingt pflegebedürftig wurde. Insofern ist er gespannt, wie er mit dieser Situation umgehen wird - und die Zeit bis zur abendlichen Rückfahrt wird auch für profanere Entdeckungen reichen. Los geht‘s! #Züribasilisk#demenz#alter
Aber das Beste an #Basel ist unzweifelhaft das Tram. Da bin ich ja etwas vorbelastet, das Netz ist aber klar vielfältiger und sicher auch herausfordernder zu befahren als das in #Zürich. Alleine das #Bruderholz ist immer eine Reise wert (und erklärt die hohe Abnutzung) - der Aeschenplatz schlägt das Central um Meilen. Die Durchsagen zur Baustelle Steinenberg allerdings…
Die Tageskarte ist auf jeden Fall rausgefahren. #Züribasilisk#tram
Morgen wird der Dringlichkeitsantrag zur #Tram-#Nordtangente in München im Bauausschuss im Landtag behandelt. Mittlerweile ist klar: CSU-Regierung hielt Landeshauptstadt monatelang hin.
LACoFire: TRAM ACCIDENT | FS51 | 3900 Lankershim Blvd #StudioCity | #LACoFD at 9:05 units were dispatched to a tram accident where 15 patients were transported to local hospitals with minor injuries. CHP will be the lead investigatory agency for all further inquiries.
The California Highway Patrol, which is leading the investigation, released a report Sunday afternoon on the collision. While making a left turn, the tram’s last car “collided with a metal guardrail on the right side of the roadway causing it to tilt and eject multiple passengers from the tram,” the reported stated.
Today's historic #photo of the day: Melbourne SW5 class #tram no 764 running a cross-suburban route 82 Moonee Ponds to Footscray trip is just one stop from its destination as it heads east along Hopkins Street and is about to turn right into Leeds Street, Footscray, Vic, December 31 1985.
No 764 was one of 120 W5 class trams built between 1935 and 1939.
Gestern auf dem Vortrag von @tram_kiel zur Stadtgestaltung sagte Stephan Besier, dass in Frankreich für die #Tram auch emotional kommuniziert wurde während in Deutschland in der Regel über objektive Kriterien gesprochen wird. Das sei nur bei einem Thema anders, dem Auto. Beim Auto wird nur emotional geworben. @SheDrivesMobility
Frank Binder's 1948 Tram Kaleidoscope. I love the way geometric shapes are used to unify the inside of the tram with the street outside. On display at the Art Gallery of NSW.
New at my Patreon... On High Street in Thornbury we noticed a striking old building - a surviving tram depot from the days when the local council ran its own cable tramway:
Today's historic #photo of the day: Fifty years ago (give or take a week or so) Adelaide A type #tram no 1 runs a trip late in the afternoon of the opening day of the St Kilda Tramway Museum, at Mangrove Loop, St Kilda, SA, March 23 1974.
Adelaide’s tram lines ran in all directions from downtown Adelaide and also on a separate network in Port Adelaide. From the start in 1909, most electric trams were built by local manufacturers befitting the city's manufacturing and coachbuilding industry.
Today's historic #photo of the day: Melbourne Z3 class #tram no 145 on route 75 from Burwood East to City Lonsdale Street (via Flinders and Spencer Streets) runs north-west along Camberwell Road past the Town Hall, Camberwell, Vic, early/mid 1986.

#Cracovia, come costruire una rete di #tram veloci ed efficienti.
Dopo il crollo del muro di Berlino, Cracovia si è ritrovata con un tunnel incompleto della #metropolitana che passava sotto il bellissimo centro storico, ma senza soldi per completare la linea.
Ha quindi costruito una rete tranviaria investendo nei punti critici e con priorità agli incroci.
I’m on a tram in Naarm/Melbourne- weee. #Brisbane - we need to bring these back. Or at least the Metro needs major expansion onto public roads.
(Saw a Metro on Kingsford Smith Drive on Tuesday.)
Since my last post was liked, more tram pics attached. I’m a car guy but trams have a place in a modern city. Plenty of reasons to use them and not your car. #tram#Naarm#Melbourne
