Lyon Trams & Trolleybuses, January 2013

A few shots taken around Lyon SNCF Part Dieu station whilst waiting between trains.
The modern tramway in Lyon opened in stages from 2001. Four lines supplement the metro using Alstom Citadis trams with a distinctive end styling. A fifth light rail line, the Rhônexpress, links Lyons Part Dieu with the airport. This route has its own red-coloured Swiss Stadler trams with armchair seats and enhanced luggage space. The Rhônexpress shares tracks with the city trams in the centre of Lyon; passing loops are provided at tram stops so it can run non-stop to the airport.
Lyon also has an extensive trolleybus system using Iris Cristalis vehicles.
