Double-decker trams are just way cooler than ordinary trams. While the double-decker trams may no longer be in service in the UK (besides Blackpool and Birkenhead), thankfully the British introduced them to Hong Kong in 1904 where they are still thriving today. The HK Tramways has a total length of 30 kilometers or 19 miles. An average of 200K people ride them every day! While the original fleet have been retired, if you're a tourist you can book a sightseeing tour of a replica of a 1920s design called the TramOramic Tour! Or better yet, book a private party tram in a replica of the original design! They're also still around in Alexandria, Egypt! Some are brand-new like in Aruba! Or a wine tram in Franschhoek, South Africa!

There are tourist tram services with refreshments in Europe, too. Frankfurt has a cider tram - the Ebbelwoi Express - that runs regularly. Frankfurt cider is rather like scrumpy, so be careful! Torino has the Gustotram with at table (!) service of full meals. Torino also has the historic line 7 with restored vintage trams, and the utterly wonderful Sassi-Superga line which apart from being extremely scenic is a third rail rack-and-pinion operation. The motor cars date from the 1930s and the trailers from the 1890s.

The last tram to be seen pulling away was repainted into a modern take of the old Sheffield Corporation livery as a nod to the past some years ago. Good to see it is still about. Love it that Stagecoach still has conductors on these trams.

[@leotubehd3156]

I lived in Sheffield ever since i was born and i'll tell you now, i always preferred trams rather than buses for 3 main reasons: 1) the coding for which tram goes where is a lot more easier as it's colour coded unlike buses that are number coded 2) it can sometimes cut through traffic 3) when on trams, it will tell you the next stop by request will be this next destination unlike buses where you have to remember where your stop is. The only problem I have with the sheffield trams is that there are 2 different routes going in the same direction until they split off at a certain stop. These are what I mean: Yellow and Tram train between Cathedral and Tinsley/Meadowhall South Blue and Yellow between Fitzalan square and Hillsborough Blue and Purple between Cathedral and Gleadless Townend.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

American cities have similar stories. Riding in streetcars were the norm in many cities from Los Angeles to Atlanta. But the rise of the automobile and buses replaced them one by one, though some managed to keep parts of their original system (like Newark, NJ with the Newark City Subway and Philadelphia). American cities nowadays are building new light-rail systems because they realized getting rid of them was a big mistake and not everyone in cities have cars. Hudson County, NJ once had an impressive system called the North Hudson County Railway. The North Hudson County Railway was a complex streetcar network that connected Journal Square in Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken, and Union City. However, a portion of Hudson County is a line of pretty steep cliffs that makes up part of the Hudson Palisades. So how did they get the streetcars down these dangerous cliffs to low-lying Hoboken and Weehawken by the Hudson River? With everything from a huge and long elevated trestle, funicular wagon lifts, and an elevator! Tackling the cliffs this way was an engineering feat, especially for the time. NJ Transit has since built the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, but it does not go up these cliffs what so ever, it only tunnels through one portion for a stop at Bergenline Ave before terminating at Tonnelle Ave for its northern terminus.

Lived in Sheffield for a few years and always love the tram! One thing I would say is they’re FAST, not just on dedicated track and but also during street running as well. Not fast as railway per say but defo a lot faster than some of the UK’s other network- yes Metrolink, I’m talking about you😠

I used Metrolink a lot last year at Xmas time from Ashton Park & ride to the city centre whilst working. The seats and ride comfort are really uncomfortable with the trams being really noisy compared to the Supertram giving out a horrible electric whine.

Crazy that West Yorkshire still doesn't have any kind of tram or metro system 😢 The Meadowhell/Rotherham branch is the section of the network that has the most dedicated tracks - the Middlewood/Malin Bridge and Herdings Park lines are mostly on-street, and Halfway is, well, halfway between the two!

[@IndigoJo]

Back when the Croydon tram system was being proposed, the promotional literature consistently referred to the vehicles as supertrams. I always wondered why; they were just multi-car trams like they have in Europe and when we go there we just call them trams. Maybe to distinguish them from old-fashioned double decker trams? I knew Sheffield had them and was surprised to see they were actually called supertrams there. When the system in Croydon opened the trams were just trams.

[@bahnspotterEU]

Probably because the Croydon trams have a significant amount of exclusive right of way. Old tram systems typically just run/ran in the streets, which tanks their performance severely.

[@IndigoJo]

Most of it is integrated with the road network with only small sections running separately.

Tyne & Wear Metro, but please wait until the new Stadler trains are in service; the system is suffering from delays due to huge amounts of catch-up and modernisation work and the Metrocars are long overdue for the scrapyard... meanwhile Nexus makes sure that the one new train features on their KZbin channel as often as possible. It should all be wonderful by Christmas 2024 ...
