Just come back from Amsterdam yesterday, fantastic 4 days metro/tram riding.. Got distracted but got the metro lines in and nearly all the team routes 17 mostly hotel was a two min walk from Derkinderenstraat ….. Only one 'spoiler' thought I'd got on the Tram 17 (first thing in the morning brain fog) and got stuck on the loop at Matterhorn! Turns out I got on the Number 1.. and as look would have it, it appears no one was in the booth... Very funny at the time, the GVB driver was amused I should of realised when the tram turned left at Meer en Vaart (or More than Faart I called it-Nice Lake) Love my Amsterdam trams.. No number 9 now though...
Ik ben hier al een keer geweest in Amsterdam,en ik werd er gek op.de Echt aantrekkelijke en bijzondere stad is die,ik hou er veel van.ik hoop dat ik er weer naar toe wel kan komen
It’s so pretty in the snow. It’s also so strange to see it pre-Covid. Look at all the people. You just don’t see people like that anymore. Wow so weird
Als een x- Amsterdammer, wonend 54 jaar in Canada, waar is de heavy snow? Mijn Canadees geboren vrouw vroeg, what is it with the umbrellas? Waarom bleven de ruiterwissers constantly aan? Verder was het leuk om weer een stuk van Amsterdam te zien!
Zware sneeuwval/ heavy snow is een zeldzaamheid in Nederland. Als er 20 cm sneeuw valt, ligt het openbare leven al plat. We mogen blij zijn als er sowieso sneeuw valt in de winter. Meestal is het overdag boven 0 C en 's nachts onder 0 C.
How are the interlaced tracks signaled (for example when leaving Prinsengracht)? There are no street signals, and the distances are visually too far apart for it to be on the basis of a tram in one particular direction having priority over the other. Also, on such an extensive/busy system I can't imagine Control has the time to authorize each movement by radio. Therefore, do the trams have some system of 'in-cab' signaling? I spent a day riding the Amsterdam trams a good few years ago, but never noticed this feature. (from retired UK tram driver/trainer)
There are no signals for interlaced tracks; trams to Central Station have priority. Drivers sometimes do switch on the indicator lights for a left turn to indicate that he/she will proceed. Two or three times a year it happens that 2 trams meet front to front in both Leidstraat and Utrechtsestraat. When such happens during rush hour it may take a while before one of the trams can drive backwards because next trams are waiting on the canal bridges. In Leidsestraat the tram stops on the bridges Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht allow 2 Combino trams, in Utechtsestraat (tram 4) just one tram. With 2 trams on those bridges in Leidsestraat the roads along the canal are blocked for motorcars. Bicycals always find their way.
@@dolfheibloem8154 Many thanks for the information. It would seem GVB Amsterdam treat their drivers as intelligent adults. Before I retired (11 years ago) I worked for Croydon Tramlink. I started there while the system was still being built and before any of it was opened to the public. As one of their first drivers I (together with five others) was given a fair amount of responsibility and we six were involved with initializing and testing much of the infrastructure as well as the trams themselves. We also went on to help train new drivers. But, as the years went on we were treated more and more like brainless idiots and now the management won't trust a driver with the simplest of tasks, without radioing control for permission first. You can't even get out and adjust a set of stuck points without instructions from control, even though you know that's exactly what he/she/it is going to tell you to do. The idea of a driver now being allowed to use his initiative, or relying on something as simple as a tram having priority in a predetermined direction, is something Croydon Tramlink's management wouldn't possibly understand. It's many years now since I've visited the Netherlands (or anywhere else abroad) but prior to that, for over fifteen consecutive years we holidayed in various parts of the country and I always took the opportunity for at least one day in the fortnight, to ride the trams of the various cities.
Snow is also not good for pedestrians or those courageous souls riding bicycles! On another video of this route I seem to recall the driver needing to change those same points manually.
@@Bobrogers99 -the snow seems to keep most bicycle riders off the streets-and then their are courageous walkers that need to keep their distance from moving Trams-especially in slippery snow ! It also seems Amsterdam City outlying areas are well planned for Tram travel-unlike outlying or suburban areas in America-way too dependent on Autos ! Dank U Wel !
For meget overgearet snak,, en chauffør må ikke samtale under kørslen, det galdt i busserne i københavn, så det gælder vel også i en sporvogn i Amsterdam
AndreiTupolev yes but i dont know how to explain the letter ui Ui is the same as onion so maybe you can google on that haha Really hard to explain for me Spui is spui haha
Are the drivers allowed to smoke grass or take other stimulants - this was too cheerful for a driver ... but, maybe this is the impression because it was the end of his work day. Nice footage and a gig thank you for posting this and other stuff. Hello to everybody from Cleveland, Ohio, USA. We have had lots of snow and cold, too. In Chicago everything was closed down because of snowfall ... schools often don't operate when it's minus 19 or deeper degrees Celsius.
more please! all lines, all times, all seasons... i'll keep watching...thank you!
So you enjoy the full ride huh? I kinda agree it.
My favorite city in the world. Love the trams. Love these videos.
A beautiful city, the snow is falling beautifully.
Lovely to see Amsterdam in the winter covered in snow.
Ditto on all the lines. i just got back and loved the GVB trams.
One winters day in Amsterdam. Amstelveen Stadshart tram-roadtrain. Interesting curvature to the footage.

Wow, your trams seem really agile considering the heavy snow. Especially when compared to the cars like at 13:00 for example :D
Mooi video dankje wel een vraag ken u Jan Sondervan hij was reed ook op tram 5 ? Hg Jannie Sondervan ✋😁
Leuk, om de remise eens van binnen te zien!
Prachtig!

Die omroep om te horen is zo lekker!
Beter dan het gezeur van NS bij elk station.
De omroep van Amsterdam geeft duidelijk aan overstappen op lijnen Den Haag en Rotterdam geeft dat niet aan

Looks cold
Ik weet niet of ik me vergis, maar was halte Rijksmuseum niet Hobbemastraat vroeger? :D
Dat klopt inderdaad.
De naam is gewijzigd
Amsterdam has a Starbucks coffee shop. awesome snowy view from the tram. A great way to explore a city, take the Tram
Un trajets sous la neige merci

Baie lekker om die tram te Sien. Poor people having to walk in the rain and snow.
when was this recorded??2017????
Amstersdam look really nice when it snows. Not so good for the tram driver though.

Wat gebeurt er rond 40 minuten? Is de wissel daar vastgevroren?
Rua Whitepaw Nee hij vergat het wissel te bedienen dus moest hij hem handmatig met wisselijzer in de juiste stand leggen
Very enjoyable!
Prachtig..
Waar zijn die blauwe lichten met een geel onderbord boven het negenoog voor? Bijvoorbeeld bij 27:00
MrHenkkkie dat is de richtingaanwijzer
Deze geeft de stand van de ingestelde rijweg aan
Ah op die manier, bedankt!
Nog nauwkeuriger: de wisselstand.
VERY BEAUTIFULLLLLL

Wat een mooie rit in de witte wereldje van Amsterdam!. Vraagje: reden er ook geen metro van lijn 51 richting Amstelveen?
Bert Van Munster die reden alleen maar vanaf westwijk naar spaklerweg
+Bert Van Munster ja de bestuurder riep dat ook om als alternatief om in amstelveen te komen
Dat had ik ook gehoord ja!
Bert Van Munster ja
Nog weer eens teruggekeken. Al die vooroverbuigende gebouwen zijn toch weinig realistisch.
what does "ein stree ferfur" mean?
+Marko Hafner "en streekvervoer"
Is 'and regional transport'
Like buses who go far out of Amsterdam
tfank you
Het gebruik van een breedhoeklens werkt bevreemdend
GTL8's in Amstedam?
Michael Hill Nee 11G/12G trams maar ze zijn wel van de zelfde fabrikant
En gebaseerd op de GTL8's... De Amsterdamse variant werd besteld aan de hand van de ervaringen met de Haagse versie.
nou de winter van 1963 eigelijk hebben,lol.en de blauwe tram inzetten,dan is het plaatje kompleet.toen woonde ik aan de slotermeerlaan.
toch wel leuk de ondertiteling werkt goed.dhet gesprek in de achtergrond word vertaald in het Nederlands.lol.
Was it snowing the day you made this video?
Yes. This morning
It's snowing IN the video.
You blind ? lmao
Kan je ook de knoppen laten zien van de tram niet alleen maar de raam dat saai
softgamer ware nee sorry dat gaat niet
Rail Public Transport ok
That's how Spui is pronounced then, sort of Spo, not Spew? That might be useful to know.
AndreiTupolev yes but i dont know how to explain the letter ui
Ui is the same as onion so maybe you can google on that haha
Really hard to explain for me
Spui is spui haha
There's no english version of 'ui', use Google Translate!
totale rit gekletst...zeer onverantwoordelijk, gezien alle spoorlopers
X Y het kunnen toch ook gewoon passagiers zijn die met elkaar praten 🤔
What a agressiv driver, maybe His wife beat him That morning
fisheye lens distort the perception of distance, did you bear that in mind
Nothing out of the ordinary when I listen to the sound of the tram. I've had far worse drivers then this.
I thought he sounded quite cheerful.
Yep, he is ;)
