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 var picdescr="w&l&jpg&0?http://www.datacomm.ch/shadowfax/tram/photo/zurich/milchbuck1_c.html?" zürich. 15th december 2001. zürich certainly has no shortage of complex junctions, yet no other is in such an almost woodland setting, and no other is so lavishly laid out as to allow trams to be photographed at different levels. the location is milchbuck, a busy tram, trolleybus and bus interchange adjoining irchel park. to the left a mirage set on route 7 emerges from the schwamendingen tram subway, while the tram 2000 set on the right is heading for the same subway. due to the central platforms in the tunnel, trams have to run on the left, and the lines are crossed over at this junction, explaining the need for the outbound line to rise over the inbound line before the former can enter the tunnel. the tram 2000 set in the background is waiting to leave the turning circle on a short working of route 9. the tracks used by routes 10 and 14 to oerlikon continue to it's left. the snow had fallen two days earlier and was to last well into the new year. if picture failed to load, click here photo by a. moglestue . last updated 15.01.02 counter added 15.01.02
