【4K】VILNIUS TROLLEYBUS - Škoda 14/15Tr (2023)

📷 pictures of this video-trips: / kt4dani
Die Škoda 14Tr prägten noch bis in die 2020er-Jahre das Stadtbild der litauischen Hauptstadt Vilnius. Die einst stolze Flotte an 14Tr reduzierte sich in den vergangenen Jahren Stück für Stück, sodass ich im Herbst 2023 dieses Video angefertigt habe. Die Ablösung an neuen Niederflurwagen war bereits absehbar und die weltweit letzte 14Tr-Hochburg stand vor einem Generationswechsel.
In einer Woche habe ich das Streckennetz fast komplett abspaziert um die letzten 14Tr aufzunehmen, welche zu dieser Zeit noch etwa ein Drittel des Tagesauslaufs ausmachten. Ergänzt werden diese Aufnahmen mit den letzten drei noch vorhandenen Gelenkwagen des Typs Škoda 15Tr, welche wenn überhaupt nur für zwei Runden am Morgen und am Nachmittag auf der Linie 7 zum Einsatz kamen.
Dieser Film zeigt alle Strecken des doch recht großen O-Busnetzes in Vilnius, allerdings nur mit den kultigen Altbauwagen.

Amazing video, glad you enjoyed the Škodas, they really are beautiful:)

Thats are real trolleybusses with charakter! 🙂

Škoda 14Tr/15Tr - The best trolleybuses in the world! Thank you for this super-video!

🙂, super that you enjoy also !

The antiqueness of both trolleys and trams in east Europe are unimaginable ❤❤❤

[@ENDRJUMASUOXD]

Beautiful city. I hope they won’t get rid of these cute old trolleybuses.

[@KT4Dani]

Vilnius is beautiful, but next year new trolleybuses will come into operation and the old vehicles will be replaced one by one. 😞

[@PneumatinisPlaktukas15]

Sadly they've been slowly scrapping them since 2018 and they already have plans to replace them with new Škodas in 2024. However we can't forget that we're talking about Vilnius, so if the new trolleybuses were promised to be delivered in 2024, they'll be delivered in 2034

[@litwatram6431]

​@@PneumatinisPlaktukas15 first 14Trs were scrapped in 1992. If I recall correctly, those were 2400, 2401, 1411

[@KT4Dani]

@@PneumatinisPlaktukas15 I like Vilnius, and in this last visit i must make this video about this older trolleybusses. I think, the replacing will be faster (?). But we will see...14/15Tr will stay alive in this video 🙂

35:13 - Polite and nice driver... Ehhh in ex-soviet countries some things don't change. :P I love sound of 14Tr. The best old trolleybuses. I've seen a lot of them in Ukraine and in Vilnius too! :)

[@KT4Dani]

Some of the drivers in Vilnius are quite aggressive and unfriendly. Many made unpleasant gestures. I have no idea what happened in the city that photographers are welcomed like this. Nevertheless, the Skoda 14/15Tr are a paradise and the week was very nice.

[@lukaslt4806]

@@KT4Dani as someone who works as trolleybus driver i can say that some of those drivers are known and had been reported. They had to write an explanation for their gestures. Personally if i see someone filming me i either ignore it or wave my hand. Btw you captured trolleybus i work on 2 times in the video.

[@KT4Dani]

@@lukaslt4806 thanks a lot for answer! I like all drivers, who ignore us fans...they do normaly theire jobs. If any driver make some greetings, its very nice. But i dont like, when any driver do any stupid activity. In Vilnius one driver shows more time the middlefinger, in one scene i puplish them also in this video. A other woman was angry and scream for police at Titnago end and other driver from 15Tr stopped on the street and make picture of mobile phone from me. A colleque which was for some days also there have same experience with same 15Tr driver - by him, he stopped and go out of his vehicle on normal street with passengers in the trolleybus and filming my colleque with his phone. Very crazy, how special some drivers are in Vilnius...unhappy for some enthousiasts, which report here in europe. But for other site, i must also report about some beautifull and interest talkings at some endpoints with drivers. 🙂Nice, that you are also here in my video...which days you travel on which vehicle? maybe i make some photos from you? best regards, Daniel

thank you :)

[@ricardasrasciukas1783]

Wow, finally you came to my city, I hope you enjoyed your stay :) As for Škodas, yeah, they might look OK but that is because they get a complete renovation once in a while; but not all, and some still look quite bad both outside and inside. Sadly, public transit has been neglected in Vilnius for as long as I live, and good changes come really slow here. You obliously saw very aged electric grid and rusty pillars (a few years ago one rusted out pillar actually fell on a person). Though there were 15 year old plans to extend trolleybus lines to the north of the city, but that did not happen (though one of the streets has suitable pillars in place). And you probably noticed that for this size of city there's no tram, and no decent city railway, and also no plans to do any of those, and that makes it double sad. Well the car drivers took over the municipality so it's bad news for public transit :) Yeah, I'm saying depressing stuff, so I must say something positive... You can rent out Škoda 9Tr, I did that for my birthday several years ago, it was really fun :D

[@KT4Dani]

Yes, i enjoyed your city also in this visit. I like 14Tr very much and so it was my pleasure to record in your city for this movie. Some vehicles looks very good, but some also very used. Yes, the city are also very good for a lightrail/tram, but unhappyly no plans for such are exist. I remember very well for this nice days and a lot of travels with my lovely 14Tr 🙂

[@skullgeezer7174]

Just imagine if Vilnius still used ZiU-9 or Ikarus trolleybuses. That would have been sickkk.

[@GreenDachshund]

Seit ich da war im juni habe ich gewartet auf ein neues video. Ich gehe mal schauen! Sieht gut aus. 😊

[@KT4Dani]

Ich hoffe, dass Dein Ausflug schön gewesen ist. 🙂

[@maikerlein76]

Für ihr Alter sehen die Skodabusse aber noch gut aus. Die werden mit der kompletten Umstellung auf Niederflurbusse sicher noch ein zweites Leben weiter ostwärts haben, wo noch ältere Obusse fahren.

[@KT4Dani]

Das stimmt, von außen sehen die Wagen z.T. noch sehr gut aus. Im Innenraum aber erkennt man bei vielen Fahrzeugen aber die inzwischen vergangenen Einsatzjahre sehr. Es wäre wünschenswert, dass die Wagen eine weitere Zukunft irgendwo anders erhalten werden...persönlich rechne ich aber nicht damit.

[@c4standard]

@@KT4Dani in der Ukraine könnten die noch ein Paar Jahre auf Verschleiss fahren. Die Lithuanen sind sowieso grosse Freunde mit der Ukraine.

[@KT4Dani]

@@c4standard ja das stimmt, aber der Aufwand an Dokumenten und Transport ist auch für eine Weitergabe an die Ukraine sicher nicht ganz einfach. Bis auf wenige Verkäufe, gab es in den letzten Jahren bei den Ausmusterungen ja keine Abgaben mehr an andere Städte. Kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass sich VVT da nochmal ändern wird.

Vielen Dank für Deine Zeilen! 🙂 ...das ist so wahr, es ist traurig um die alten Zeiten und vieles verschwindet auch gerade jetzt. Daher versuche ich alles was mich noch interessiert irgendwie im Film festzuhalten. Akkustik, Beschleunigung und Bewegung sind in 20 Jahren sicher auch noch interessant zu beobachten.

Oh, I published the video 2 minutes ago. You looked very quickly.

[@Snufkin812]

35:10 About the driver who raised his middle finger at you... As a bus fan from Asia, I can relate to the fact that there are many bus drivers in some countries who don't like photos. :( In Asia, there are no direct insults like in Vilnius, but drivers sometimes make bad faces, ask why the photo was taken, and ask it to be removed. In countries with a developed reporting system, if you take a picture of a driver who violates traffic laws and report it to the authorities, you receive a small reward. (This is bad! It makes everyone distrust each other. 👎) I also enjoyed taking pictures of buses and vintage cars in the past, but gave up my hobby two years ago after encountering an angry SUV driver on the road. This SUV driver mistook me for a parking enforcement officer and got angry with me for taking his picture. I showed him the deleted photos and then left. 😰 In fact, these types of problems stem from many misunderstandings and are related to society and politics. One thing is certain: the tendency is worse in countries with poor economies or those that have experienced dictatorships.

These trolleybuses wont be round for much longer new as brand new Skoda 32Tr SORs have arrived

@@KT4Dani Around 70 will remain in service until 68 new 18M trolleybuses arrive. They still haven’t been ordered yet, and no one has won the order, so we will have to wait until 2026 until we get answers

[@BelarusianAndEuropeanTransport]

Скорее, последним будет 2025-й. Но в этом году, я думаю, начнут массово списывать 14Тр, потому что уже этим летом начнут приходить новые 32Тр

Well, I’m pleased to let you know that the first 32Trs have arrived and can be seen in Justiniškių g. Trolleybus Depot.

У Вільнюсі ще багато 14Tr на дорозі, але іноді доводиться довго чекати. Вже є багато нових низькопідлогових тролейбусів... в найближчі кілька місяців буде додано багато нових машин на заміну старим тролейбусам.
