Eindhalte (endstation) Eilandje — MAS

The route to Havenhuis was usually used for instruction, but if it wasn't available, they'd switch to the MAS/Eilandje terminus, which was the case on the day of shooting: route 24 was diverted to MAS/Eilandje due to works on the Mexicobruggen.

Spoorstraat / Rotterdamstraat

Route 12 is very scenic, for those who like small streets. PCC's fit better in the picture then a long lowfloor tram...

Halenstraat

This tram used to run here every day, but in practice it was never possible to take photos like this: it was always too busy. Now it was possible to wait for a rare moment when there was no traffic at all.
