20 április 2015 - Budapest, Konyves Kalman korut: Just a few minutes later, the happy day turns into a nightmare as #611 `splits the points` at the entrance to Ferencvaros depot and lays down, right in the middle of a very busy road. Here, the concerned BKV staff discuss what needs to be done to move it, whilst all the traffic piles up behind.
21 április 2015 - Budapest, Kossuth Lajos ter: Here is #611 again, this time directly in front of the iconic buildings of the Hungarian Parliament, which are situated directly on the banks of the Danube River and always feature in tourist programmes. The other tram in the background is #436.
21 április 2015 - Budapest, Kossuth Lajos ter: This is a favourite spot on the Budapest tramway network for photographs, where the line runs along the Pest bank of the River Danube. Here is #611, one of several trams operated by an active enthusiast group in the city. It was built by the Schlick company in 1908 and survived in normal service until the 1960s.
27 szeptember 2009 - Budapest (HU) – Szentendre. Another view of #1714 in the HEV ‘graveyard’ with other old city trams lined up behind. This is a private site, but worth a visit if you’re interested in old trams and electric locos.
27 szeptember 2009 - Budapest (HU) – Szentendre. Hidden away behind the HEV suburban railway depot is an amazing sight – a huge collection of over sixty old trams and electric railway vehicles, dating back many years. They are nearly all in very bad condition, though. The HEV seem never to have scrapped anything! This is a very early wooden city tram – I think it’s a Type D of 1897 with ‘Dresden’ axles – a total wreck, but useful for spare parts and patterns, I expect.
27 szeptember 2009 - Budapest (HU) – Fehervari ut. After the end of normal tram service on Sunday morning, these three museum trams escaped for a few little trips. Here, they are all lined up for photos in a three-track section. A nice idea.
