I see 167 an 168 out on Lines 1 & 2 in various photos. Is this a special trip?

Or is this a regular service? If this is regular service - why? And what happened to newer rolling stock that day?

Thanks.

This is regular service. There was an accident with the Leoliner cars No. 1 and 5 on Tuesday: https://www.volksstimme.de/lokal/halbers...usammen

Both cars are out of order until further notice. Because five trams are needed on a workday and there are only five Leoliner cars, since that the unique situation of at once two operating GT4 occurs! The current tram attraction in Germany...

Thanks for an update. An unbelievable and unique situation. Esslingen GT4 were bound to show up at some point (and I understand they did unpredictably), since operation of 5 out 5 Leoliners was unsustainable.

I am tempted tp say that I am not surprised the accident happened in Halberstadt. I visited the system last year, and this operation was absolutely the worst tram operation in Germany. I am not sure if this was due to imminent closure of the system, or some local cultural phenomena - but the attitude within the company was like [i]no one cares[/i].

I just hope the accident will not bring the date of closure of the tram system, well... closer (

Hello Yury,
sorry for late answer...yes, its like Lada 2101 have written. There was a accident and in this time the amount of regular passengers and tramsfans was 50/50. A lot of photographers are actual in Halberstadt to make pictures of this "event".
Here you see my video from this GT4-service: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLJRoV5UVCU

Specifically in the following week (October 5th to 9th) the trams in the city only run every 30 minutes due to a lack of staff at HVG company. Therefore no GT4 will be in use.

Thanks for the info, Halberstadt operation is truly strange and unique in terms of positives and negatives...
