a little fact: it is actually perfectly safe to Touch the rails, only the part of the middle rail fully under the tram is actually energized. parts not under the tram are deenergized and earthed for safety
I don’t want to test this, but yes, this is true. When walking, I usually step over the center rail instead of stepping on it. The ground power system would only work for longer trains. I wonder what the shortest train is for a system like this.
I should have explained this in the video. They were having a children’s race, on scooters! It was a fun, family day, although it was a bit loud playing on the speakers.
Oh you visited Bordeaux, nice!
Yes, it is such a nice city!
Very very nice light rail video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!
Nice to hear from you. Sorry that my video upload has been more sporadic lately.
Great filming and editing. Stunning place and views. Well done
Thank you! I only wish I had more time to explore the entire system! Maybe someday, but there are so many other enticing places to visit in the area!
Super cool system! Never seen rails in grass like that
It’s common in Europe. So nice!
