Why is Bremen, Germany missing a tram line?
Bremen, Germany sometimes is advertised as the "City of Trams", or even simply as the "Dorf mit Straßenbahn" (village with a tram).
But what if I told you it was missing a tram line? And that this line has been missing for over 50 years now, despite having served a very dense area?
This is the story of Bremen's Tram Line #7 - and why it needs to come back!
This video is a submission for @ClassyWhale's One Line More Contest. It felt fitting to end the year with a main video for a Classy Whale contest, seeing as my first one was also for a Classy Whale contest!
Special thanks to Spacy in the TFTSB Discord for providing me the scans and images of infrastructure, the proposed Bremen U-Bahn and S-Bahn networks, and even helped me source research on Line 7!

Hamburg Needs a Better Central Station
Переглядів 8 тис.14 днів тому
Hamburg's central station, also known as Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, is considered one of the biggest bottlenecks on the German railway network. And while it is a beautiful old station, as someone who lives in the Hamburg metro region, I'm not particularly fond of it. So, let's go through its issues and some proposals on how to make it better - or that would at least potentially make living around it...

      The Mallard was fast but as far as I know there isn‘t an operational one left. The Br 18 on the other hand still is operational today. Also, since the Mallard only reached 202km/h downhill and only while damaging itself, I don‘t recognize the Mallard as the fastest steam loco, but rather the steam loco that went the fastest. The Br 05 (not to be confused with the Br 18 shown in the video) would have gone even faster in the same situation. Change my mind.

    Originally these trains were planed for non-electrified curvy lines in the mountains-areas of middle and south germany with tilting technology. But this was not so successfull as maintenance costs increased. So they were used in the northern part with deactivated tilting devices.

    No real innovations needed to make high speed Steam Engines. Thats easy - just use bigger Wheels. But you trade sped versus acceleration, so travel time from a to b may benfit more from acceleration, if you have more stops. More important is the most restricitng factor - the track itself. Its build for a specific speed, a faster loko has no impact at all.

    Australia has significant non electrified track and has very few intercity train services (tourist “cruise ship” services like the ghan are not practical as a commute mechanism) Australia would do well to learn about the diesel ice services in Germany and what worked and what didn’t.

    Like otehrs have said they were initially built for other routes before getting put on the routes to Denmark. Before then and since then, convenrional rolling stock, namely IC3 DMUs have been used instead and more recently old DB IC1 carriages as a stopgap ahead of the new trains for the route. DSB has ordered 16 Talgo trainsets thatll run at 200km/h via the tunnel (not a bridge) when its done in hopefully 2029 and redudes travel time from Copenhagen to Hamburg to just 2½ hours. Apart from being pulled by Siemens Vectron locomotives with a lower 200km/h top speeds, these new Talgo trains will be extremely similar to the new 230km/h ICE-L trains that Deutsche Bahn have bought 83 sets of from Talgo. DSB's sets will mainly be used going bsck and forth between Hamburg and Copenhagen but DSB are also planning some new routes. Namely Copenhagen to Amsterdam and Copenhagen to Oslo utilising the trains. As well as partnering up with other operators like Ceske Drahy to extend their ComfortJet service to Copenhagen. We'll likely also see ICE-L's head to Copenhagen the same way for routes like Copenhagen to Berlin, Frankfurt, or Munich.

(I bought over 10 blåhajs there) Sadly it is just branding and you still have to walk 15minutes from the station through dangerous stroads and very ugly car-centric infrastructure or use the.. horrible out of synch shuttle bus. But it is the Ikea station tho! Oh very important: the pronounciation of blåhaj is more "blow-hi"- Anyway, you're awesome!
