I've just been watching a TV drama partly set in Osijek, Croatia. Some scenes have featured the city's trams, which are 1000mm gauge and at the time of filming in 2019 featured modified Tatra T3 vehicles, plus some secondhand Duewag cars from Germany. What struck me most though was the layout...

I saw this announcement yesterday evening, just before the Bedford incident started unfolding. I don't believe the Todmorden incident was discussed at the time, I was certainly unaware of it despite being mere yards from home. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/dangerous-occurrence-at-todmorden

From 27th June, two more trolleybus lines will commence one-vehicle trial operations, running on top of the existing diesel bus services. In the north-west of the city, the 51 will shadow the 131 between Bořislavka and Hradčanská, running every 48 minutes during the week, and every 45 at...

A one-vehicle supplementary trolleybus service commenced on 1st April as line 52, between Na Knížecí bus station in Smíchov and U Waltrovky, with occasional journeys extended the short distance to Jinonice. This overlays the existing 137 bus line, which the 52 will replace in due course. The 137...

I'm not sure if this should be here or in International Transport, as the thought occurred while abroad. Okay, I'm not an engineer, so may be missing something. Do bus articulation bellows always have the 'keyhole' shape rather than being full width to the floor, and if so, why? Is there...

On the 26th Jan, my afternoon Jet2 flight from Manchester to Prague (LS887) was diverted to Vienna to refuel - we were only about 20 minutes out from Prague when the airport was closed due to a sudden snowfall. I've never flown into Vienna before, but looking at the airport layout and the fact...

Hi, I am currently trying to book a couple of adult Northern F&F tickets for tomorrow. I have a number of promo codes issued in both 2023 and 2024, but I am constantly getting a 'No tickets available, please refine your search' error box whichever code I have entered. I recall I struggled last...

I reported elsewhere that the wiring for the forthcoming conversion of bus 119 from Prague Airport to Nádraží Veleslavín on Metro line A appeared to be complete in November. I've been watching for some trial operation of the new route 59, similar to the conversion of bus 140 last year, where...

Back in March, I was travelling from Todmorden into Manchester Victoria and just happened to notice that the connection from the south curve at Castleton had been severed a few metres short of the junction. The characteristic "thump" and sway when passing over the switch in the Up direction...

My son tipped me off to this development by DPP in Prague, which I hadn't spotted being mentioned on here. They have converted one of the classic T3 cars into a rather swish sightseeing tram for private hire. Apparently it has won a couple of design awards, with further pictures here. The hire...

Hi, Without wanting to waste too much of anyone's time, I was puzzled by the identity of the bus in the TK Maxx advert. The styling makes me think of central or eastern Europe, 1960's perhaps? The advert is to be shown in a number of European countries as well as the the UK, although the street...
