Interesting glimpse into the behind-the-scenes preparation of the tram for line service. It's cool to see the meticulous checks and procedures involved before it hits the tracks.

Deze video is dubbel cool. Ten eerste, voor officiële reizen langs de Dedemvaartweg, en ten tweede - voor het demonstreren van het werk van de koetsier en de tramcabine (ik heb geen gelegenheid om het uit de eerste hand te zien). Это видео вдвойне классное. Во первых, за служебный проезд по Dedemvaartweg, а во вторых - за демонстрацию работы вагоновожатого и салона трамвая (у меня нет возможности увидеть воочию).

Leuk om ook eens te zien. 👌 Vraag is: Die wissels gaat dat automatisch, of is dat voor geprogrammeerd ? En nog een andere vraag, links voor tegen de vooruit aan, wat is dat voor kastje?
@gwnlars_83068 ай бұрын
Wissels gaan in de regelmaat automatisch, maar bij bepaalde spontane dingen als MAT, omleidingen e.d. kan het ook "elektronisch-handmatig" en met de ouderwetse wisselomlegger. Kastje linksvoor is ADAS, remhulpsysteem.

I notice this tram does not have a traction/braking controller in form of a stick or lever like most other modern trams. Are these trams fully automated or do you use pedals to apply traction and brake?
@mio33857 ай бұрын
In Den Haag we have foot pedals similar to a car. Deadman as a clutch and braking and power. When these trams were ordered HTM did a survey amongst the drivers if they wanted a normal drive/brake stick or foot padals. HTM is the only transit organization with pedals in their tram fleet (exept for the Alstom Regio Citadis) The new TINA tram from Stadlr will have padels too.

Having known many bus drivers over many years I can tell you nobody is this anal about checking things. The procedure 99% of the drivers on this system use is to put the key in to open the door, put the key in the dash to turn the tram on (get heating going) and go have a coffee in the drivers room for 10 minutes. Then hop in the tram and go. If anything isn't working they find it on the road and if it's something so serious they need a replacement tram then they get to charge over time.
@TramMeneer7 ай бұрын
With all due respect, what you describe is not very professional in my opinion. Failures lead to enormous delays and problems in the network, so we perform checks to keep them to a minimum. It takes only a few minutes, so we still have plenty of time for a coffee :)
@Jules_Diplopia7 ай бұрын
I suppose it depends on the quality of the driver. I used to know a bus driver, who was very attentive. After all, once he was driving a double decker he was responsible for the lives of a lot of people. Nice to see that my tram drivers are as careful as they are.
