Built in 1969, 608 is one of the many well preserved trams that run around Rotterdam on the Lijn 10 tourist service.

A mix of the old and new(ish) in Manchester city centre - a Metrolink Tram to Bury via Victoria and a SELNEC Central liveried bus heading to Middleton spotted next to the Arndale Centre in Manchester yesterday.

SELNEC was the Passenger Transport Executive in the area from 1969 until it was renamed Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE) in 1974.

Hey all,

Been working on a big project of a fictional North American streetcar system. I know some systems require their operators/drivers to be able to rotate shifts on different days/weeks. How typical is that compared to just having seniority-based picks but a fixed schedule?

Google says it's Melbourne, for being carbon neutral since 2019. BUT in terms of offset for it's size, I think Zurich does better (given both networks move similar amounts of people but Melbourne's is like 80km longer). But as far as I could tell, neither is doing anything ambitious, unlike Warsaw, which is building out grassy tram tracks to help reduce urban heat island effects in addition to working towards net 0 by 2050.

So I want to hear from you: what tram network do you know of that is doing/planning ambitious things to be more environmentally friendly?
