gtz trolleybus number 1
1995, mercedes/abb o405 gtz trolleybus number 1 (former prototype) of 1986 approaches kirche fluntern on route 33. this was the only gtz to have three doors rather than four. it was also the only gtz to gave carried this livery variation with more generous use of blue. the livery lasted until 1999. the bus was unpopular with staff as the missing rear door supposedly lead to longer loading times and made time keeping difficult. it was hence frequently used for driver training. this became official in 2007 when the bus could be declared surplus to the requirements of the regular fleet and was renumbered 4122 in the training fleet. this status was short lived however, as the bus suffered a transmission failure later that year and was scrapped for spares .

zürich as it might have been: lindenplatz u-bahn stop
in the early 1970s, zürich was planning an underground ( u-bahn ). the plans were rejected in a referendum in 1973. this artist's impression shows how lindenplatz stop might have looked. some sections on which work had already commenced were put to other uses, including a tram subway. for more information on this, visit this page: from u-bahn to tram tunnel . the illustrated stop would have been built by cut-and-cover. compare this to the deep-level-bore station that was planned at schaffhauserplatz ..

zürich as it might have been: schaffhauserplatz u-bahn stop
in the early 1970s, zürich was planning an underground ( u-bahn ). the plans were rejected in a referendum in 1973. this artist's impression shows how schaffhauserplatz stop might have looked. this station would have been built in a single deep-level bore with platforms on two different levels. compare this to the cut-and-cover station that was planned at lindenplatz .

zürich cargotram
cargotram at wollishofen on it's first day in service (15th april 2003). this view of trailer 1984 clearly shows its peckham truck. this truck is now serving it's third purpose. in contrast to the later peckham trucks which were built under licence in switzerland, the original batch were imported from the usa. these were used for cars 57 - 84. these cars originally had open balconies which were later glazed. their low power and limited capacity led to their conversion to trailers 473-500 between 1926 and 1929. new lighter trucks were constructed for these trailers and the original trucks were reutilised for works cars of various types and descriptions. a small number of these survive today, among them crane car 1952 . trailers 1984 and 1987 survived as permanent way wagons but saw little use during their final years. their next rebuild was in 2003 when they were prepared to carry standard refuse containers.

alicante, electric tram
electric tram on the paseo in alicante in 1950. these rounded-looking cars were rebodied in he 1940s from earlier vehicles. the building in the background still stands today, the palm trees have grown a little taller and this part of the paseo is now an elegant pedestrianised promenade. wouldn't it be wonderful to see today's tram line extended to once again run along the full length of central alicante's beautiful waterfront?
