Travels 2021 – Part II
On 29. October 2021 by WebmasterNot having done much travelling in 2021 (compared to pre-Covid times) it was decided to visit Ukraine again. The original plan meant all systems would be visited but for time reasons we decided in the end not to go west of Kiev (apart from one day trip to Zhytomyr) and we also had to skip

Travels 2019 – Part IX
On 30. October 2019 by WebmasterMany of the VDVA members just joined us for the main part of this fall (autumn) tour: Lviv. But we had more to offer for those who are interested in trolleybuses! 4 systems in the region nearby were thus explored. We rented a large van for this (from/to Lviv). Trains could have been used but

Travels 2019 – Part VIII
On 30. October 2019 by WebmasterMost of the VDVA members joined us in Lviv. We visited both tram depots (the company has asked us not to show unsuitable photos of depot no.2 as this facility is still under reconstruction and is used to store all the retired & rusting equipment) and the trolleybus depot. Our members were able to ride

Travels 2019 – Part VII
On 29. October 2019 by WebmasterRivne was the starting point for the final 2019 VDVA tour (Lviv was the main target for this trip and only a small number of VDVA members made it to Rivne). The last system in the world that runs Skoda 9Trs in numbers. They will probably not last forever, even there. We did of course

Travels 2019 – Part VI
On 29. October 2019 by WebmasterAnother day-trip by train from Kiev took us to Konotop. The first T3As from Riga have arrived there (with more to follow) and we thus opted for another KTM-5 charter. After a brief close down of the system in 2018 this tramway now seems save for the future. Quite a dull day weather-wise but then

Travels 2019 – Part V
On 29. October 2019 by WebmasterAnother visit to Ukraine. We started with a day-trip to Vinnytsia by train from Kiev. This time we had hoped to charter the historic T4SU but it was not available and we thus used on of the few KT4SUs that are still in service during the week. Next time we will try the T4SU again

Travels 2018 – Part I (Denmark, Ukraine, VDVA Belgrade & Germany)
On 31. May 2018 by WebmasterWe started the year with a visit to the National Tramway Museum in Denmark to witness the big celebrations there (40 years!) with a short side-trip to Aarhus. In May we went to Ukraine again. We had travelled to most of the countries’s systems before but we had never managed to go East of Charkiw

Kharkiv Works Cars
On 20. July 2017 by WebmasterKharkiv is another system with a large number of work (non-passenger) equipment, though much reduced in size compared to just a few years ago. Some of the retired cars remain stored on property. We have tried to list the location where all vehicles are stationed (by personal observation during 2 separate visits to all depots).

Kiev Works Cars
On 12. July 2017 by WebmasterLike many large tramway systems the Kiev fleet sports a fairly large number of work (non-passenger) equipment. Some cars have been withdrawn in the last few years but a few of those still remain stored on property. We have tried to list the location where all vehicles are stationed (by personal observation during 3 separate
