I thought the tram was beautiful enough to photograph. The woman chose a different theme... and took a picture of the photographer: each one has his hobby and interests...

Gent, Recollettenbrug
This tram shows the situation in the early 1990s. In anticipation of the repaint in the new colours of De Lijn, the old livery was kept and the old emblems were covered.
The 26 normally stays at the coast and was brought to Ghent for this parade.

In the afternoon, public rides took place. The 01 is not only the oldest and first P.C.C. tram in Ghent, but was also completely restored to its original state of delivery.

A surprise was the transfer of the 26 from the coastline. Of course, this vehicle fitted perfectly into the theme.

The line-up shows the evolution from left to right: on the left is the latest (modernised) version, on the far right (01) the tram in its delivery version, with grey pantograph.
This photo shows perfectly what has happened to these trams over a period of 50 years.

Sint-Baafsplein
This tram is the most recent museum tram. In Ghent, there are still some of these trams as a strategic reserve, but they have not been used for several years. In Antwerp, they will theoretically be used again when Covid-19 is over. Or maybe never again. The future will tell.

The parade was accompanied by 3 police officers by bicycle and 2 control vehicles of the transport company. Quite soon, the parade was delayed: the calculation was made on the speed of the trams, not of cycling policemen...
