Driver's Eye View - Prague Tram Tour with a very special Tatra T3 Coupé tram

[@mahfoudhbessidhoum1667]

The best capital city in Europe; dearly want to visit

[@Timsvideochannel1]

It's a lovely city with a great sense of humour, it's reasonably priced too.

[@billotoole1563]

Riding the trams was the most enjoyable memory of my 2 weeks in the Czech Republic last year. Interesting to note, I heard more English in the background of this video than what I encountered in my stay. I hit the tourist areas around 0700 or 0800 and went further out after 0900, so most of the Czech people that I encountered had to endure my “dobry den,” “prosim,” “dekuji” and pointing, ending with an attempt at “Na shledanou.” I had a great time, but “prominte” to those who had to endure my attempts.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hi Bill, the Czech people will have appreciated you trying to use their language. I was travelling with a group of mainly English tourists, hence the English in the background. When I went into the city alone, English was not the predominant language, most of the other tourists were from Asia, considering the time of year I was surprised at how many tourists there were. I didn't get much past "Dobry Den" and "Dekuji" fortunately our hosts were often bi-lingual and most of the younger people spoke reasonable English. I had intended to return to the Czech republic in June on another tour, although the tour is still advertised, I'll be surprised if it goes ahead, maybe I should use my time in lock-down to practice a few more Czech phrases. Take care. Tim.

Thank you for this lovely video. How I miss racing the trams on my bicycle at night from St. Ludmila’s to the Jirásek Bridge and the Vltava, on Ječná and Resslova. ❤️

Hi, I'm pleased it bought back nice memories from your own time in the city 😊

[@shesfine9426]

Jeez, I love this City. It's also called the "Golden Town"... When one sees this gold light of the sun reflected upon the walls of the houses, one understands why... ☀️ Shame there are not more views of the center down town and the Vltava banks.... the river is sometimes "golden" too! Prague is much more beautiful to see by foot wander. Thanks anyway for this video 💕☀️

[@merccadoosis8847]

Thanks for the tour - lovely scenery adds much to the video. We need good municipal transport like that in every USA city.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Cheers, I'm pleased you enjoyed it, Prague has an extensive tram system. I visited Denver, the light rail/tram system there was impressive. I live in the UK, a country that sacrificed all but one tram system for buses; in light of today's traffic chaos that was a poor decision, some cities have new tram systems, but they come at a crippling cost. Most European cities kept their trams, How I wish UK policy makers at the time had taken decisions based on providing a service rather than making false short term savings.

[@merccadoosis8847]

@@Timsvideochannel1 Great reply. It is no secret here in the USA, that money talks all else walks. We had great trolleys systems (these were precursors to the trams) but abandoned them in the late 1930s and 40s because of intense lobbying by the oil and automobile interests. These capitalists did so in order to compel people to buy their cars and their gasoline. As a consequence, the air became more polluted, others died from cancer, and the streets became horribly congested. Thankfully, there has now been a resurgence in having more public transportation. It is now called "light rail" which to me is not quite as efficient as were trolleys and trackless trolleys. But they certainly do improve transportation efficiency and safety in the urban areas. vintage trolleys: tinyurl.com/yb8vvoe6 trackless trolleys (now called trolleybus): tinyurl.com/ycqygojr

[@Timsvideochannel1]

@@merccadoosis8847 Hi, the first link gave an interesting result - vintage drink trolleys, although the second link took me to some wonderful photos of trolley buses 😉 Most towns and cities of the former Soviet Union have extensive tram and trolley bus systems, usually operated by old, but fascinating vehicles, those that have become members of the EU usually have modern updated systems. This link takes you to a city that has been to hell and back, yet somehow its old trams survive to do the job they very built to do over 60 years earlier - kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4GvcqmGedhriNk

[@aswler]

@@merccadoosis8847 Good luck reviving your public transport! It must be so sad and difficult in a country where many probably consider public transport as socialist.

[@merccadoosis8847]

@@aswler Yes, some people stupidly believe public transportation as "Marxist" and similar ideologies. This because of their ignorance and stupidity. All these delusionals need do is to read the letters of that 'Marxist' George Washington who wrote about the need to promote public works in his letters (1786). They may also read Marxist Hamilton's *Report On Manufactures* of 1791. One of the first major public works projects which involved public transportation was that of Marxist Governor DeWitt Clinton of 1817. The great irony of all this is the fact that all these "Marxists" did these things well before Marx was born. Right wingers are well known for their ignorance and stupidity. This behooves the more patriotic members of society to inform these ignoramuses so that we may have social reform and ultimately a more productive society.

[@Blk.flower]

Very enjoyable. Have to add going back to Prague and having a ride on a Tram to my every growing travel list of things to do.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Those "to do" lists just keep growing, the world is full of wonderful places to see and things to do. Every time I cross something off, I find 2 more things to add. An all day public transport ticket in Prague is as cheap as chips you'll be able to cross the metro, funicular railway, busses and trams off with just the one ticket.

Lived in Prague for seven years as a TEFL teacher. This was a great nostalgic tour of areas that I knew on a regular basis. Although a commentary would have been perfect. Who would be a tram driver? Thank you Tim.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hi, I am pleased you enjoyed this tour. Prague is a lovely city, I wish I'd had more time to look around, I will almost certainly return. Commentary would have added an extra dimension to the video, my trouble is I don't like the sound of my own voice and volunteers are few and far between.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Prague is a nice place, you must miss it, although New York is also an awesome city.

[@renatadavid4285]

New York City used to be an awsome city for me at one time. I am sure that it is awsome for some. Many people that I knew moved out of New York. I used to run all over, going to places. Riding the New York City subway and saying to myself, I am a New Yorker, just like the New Yorker song. But not any more, those days are gone for me. I hope to move to Florida now. To live a healthier life there. I hope to visit Prague one day again. Last time I was in Prague was in 2008. I have enjoyed watching this tram video again. So many memories I have of places in this video.

Public transport is cheap and the tram network is extensive, although riding this tram has to be the best way to enjoy the sights.

[@LeeWitten]

@@Timsvideochannel1 Thanks for your reply. I'll have to check out more of your videos. Prague was still under Communist rule in 1976 so the atmosphere at the time was rather subdued. Beautiful city though. As for the virus, I live in Utah and am sheltering in place. We had an earthquake that you may have heard about so that spiced things up a bit. No damage where I live but Salt Lake City had some. Back to videos, I found one today which took an hour ride on a narrow gauge interurban through the Vitter Valley in Austria to the town of Mayerhof. Beautiful sunny day. I had thoughts of Sound of Music. I've got a channel with a variety of things. I've been editing digitized super 8 films made by a Union Pacific engineer back in the decade of the 70's. Early Amtrak and classic freight action.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

@@LeeWitten Hi, I just took a look at some of the videos you've posted to KZbin, there is some really interesting stuff there. My parents took a camper van all over the former Eastern bloc countries just after the wall came down, one of their main comments was the lack of colour, that's certainly not the case now. I wasn't aware of the quake in Utah, coronavirus is the only thing on the News these days, I had hoped Brexit would be over and done with so that we can get on with ordinary life again with our politicians bitching about stuff that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, sadly corona-virus had put normal life on hold for the time being. I hope the damage caused by the Utah quake was minimal with no loss of life. Austria is home to a variety of fascinating railways such as the one you mentioned. This tour continued into Austria with some more one off trips along unusual freight and other little used lines, both standard and narrow gauge, I look forward to uploading videos about them in the coming months as time permits. When I get a spare moment I'll take a look at more videos on your channel. Stay safe and well. Tim.

[@LeeWitten]

@@Timsvideochannel1 Thanks for checking out some of my videos. I'm going to get on your channel this afternoon. Right now I'm editing another Harris super 8 video shot in 1975 on the Rio Grande Route through central Utah. Both desert and mountainous country. I can echo your parent's comment about lack of color in the Eastern Block. Before arriving in Prague we travelled from Hamburg to Berlin then to Munich and Prague. As we crossed the boarder from western to eastern Germany, it was startling how the entire nature and "color" of the country became. Also our power out of Berlin through East Germany was steam engines. For a rail fan, that was kind of neat. Unfortunately I didn't record much of it. I was shooting super 8 and being very conservative on amount of film. I was concentrating on scenery more than trains at the time. Boy what I could have done if digital was round then.

[@LeeWitten]

I mean't to say that I'm watching KZbin on my large screen tv so it really feels like virtual reality. Cab views are really great this way. Oh and can I assume you are in England since you mentioned Brexit and spell color (colour)!

A beautiful city,Love the old buildings cobblestone st's and a wonderful tram network,Thanks tim you have done it again,Our nsw government policy on old buildings rail lines and stations plus tram networks is to "SMASH AND BURN"cheer's bob.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

European cities are fascinating, many suffered badly as a result of two world wars, but instead of demolishing the old buildings and replacing them with modern ones, they rebuilt them as they had been before they were damaged, the result is pleasing to the eye. Cities in the UK such as Portsmouth and Plymouth were rebuild with square, low quality buildings that quickly aged looking even more ugly than when they were built. Many went on to become an embarrassment to those cities, most have now been demolished after a relatively short life, to be replaced with more ugly buildings often built in the same materials as factories, some planners never learn. Old photos of these towns show some of the beautiful buildings that were lost to war damage, British towns would look so much more attractive if they'd done as many European towns did, in rebuilding, instead of replacing old buildings with modern, ugly square monstrosities. From your comment, NSW government is repeating the mistakes made in Britain. A good halfway measure, now quite common even in Britain is to retain the facades of the old buildings whilst constructing a completely new building behind, the best of both worlds.Take care. Tim.

Okay, actually I had considered that possibility. I just wasn’t sure. Placing the GoPro on the outside is so much better, as Mars Hartdegen does on VNR locomotives in Vietnam.

Which line number is this? I visited Prague about 8 years ago, T3 could be a clue though I wasn't sure if that was the model of the tram. Does seem to be following the route 3

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hi, this was a tour of several different routes, the routes along with the line numbers can be see on the maps at 00:34 & 38:01- Tatra T3 is the model of the tram. As you have visited Prague you will be aware of how extensive the tram system is, I wish the museum had been open when I was there.

(23:07) On the right side: Maybe the (blue) Eurocity from Hamburg, Germany?

[@jochenboehmcker8753]

Probably not. 1. The tram has just passed the station Praha-Smichov. That's west of the Vltava. The EC Germany - Czech Republic - Hungary cross Praha east of the Vltava. 2. The EC from/to Hamburg consists of 4-5 2nd class coaches, a dining car and 1-2 1st class coaches. The train in the video is too short and has no dining car.

@@jochenboehmcker8753 - Thank you.

Probably a train from Pilsen and maybe Bavaria.

Brilliant video. Where to next Tim?

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Cheers, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Next we visit the Giant Mountains near Prague for two days riding the local railways behind various steam locomotives before making our way to Austria for more railway adventures. I still have video footage from New Zealand, Morocco, Italy, Switzerland and the UK to edit and upload, plus the Spring Galas are about to kick the UK heritage railway season off, there is also the London Model Railway Exhibition this month. Its going to be a busy few months.

I would like to know who controls all the points?

[@Timsvideochannel1]

As far as I am aware the tram driver controls the points, some systems use powerful electromagnets to send signals to receivers that control the electric point motors, the most modern systems communicate with the motors using modern electronics.

@@Timsvideochannel1 Thank you for the answer Tim. :)

AT THE BUS STOP THE HOTEL PYRAMID

[@Timsvideochannel1]

"Yes" the Hotel Pyramida is visible at 1:18:55

Hello Tim, to me, car traffic doesn't make a relaxed impression, it's more German town style. - Heinz

Strange to hear English spoken in Prague on the tram.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

There was a group of us travelling from the UK, that's the reason you hear English being spoken.

Prague rox

[@Timsvideochannel1]

"Yes" its a fun city.

[@stanislev]

Te kocie lby na ulicach sa przygnebiajace. Zle sie po tym chodzi. Chodniki natomiastsa za bardzo rozkoszne, we wzorkach, zupelnie bez smaku. Zima mozna sie poslizgnac i nogi polamac. Chodniki powinny byc z czewonej cegly, ulozone rowniotko i przyjaznie.Te wspolczesne chodniki nie pasuja do wystroju tych historycznych budynkow! Za duzo tramwajow, rujnuja tkanke strukturalna tych co badz pieknych budynkow.

(12:41) Too wet concrete? An ugly mixture of old and "progressive" styles. - Heinz

Those yanks talk rubbish

[@Timsvideochannel1]

That Yank is European and I believe he lives in Prague.
