Szeged's tram system is run on a track and is powered by 600 V electfication system. History On 1 March 1857, the horse-drawn bus service began in Szeged, connecting the station with the city center and several important inns in the city.

But then the need for public transport grew, and the first horse-drawn tram line was built. In 1881, the concession was granted for the horse-drawn tram. In July 1884, passenger services were started with horse-drawn trams. In the first full year of operation (1885), more than 300,000 passengers were tran ...

Tatra T6A2
The Tatra T6A2 was a tramcar built by ČKD Tatra between 1985 and 1999. Having enjoyed widespread success with its previous models among mainly Soviet customers, the T6A2 was quite different in appearance to its predecessors, and was bought extensively by cities in the former East Germany, as well as by Szeged (Hungary) and Sofia (Bulgaria). Variations T6A2D/B6A2D Towards the end of the 1980s, many East German cities required new trams to replace their aging fleets, and it was for this reason that Tatra commissioned the building of three prototype vehicles in 1985. These vehicles were tested first of all in Prague before being moved to Dresden. Between 1988 and 1991, 174 of the type were delivered to five East German cities. Berlin was the largest customer, taking delivery of 177 examples, plus a further 5 which were acquired from Rostock in 1995. In 2011 six modernized vehicles from Berlin were sold to the swedish city Norrköping as a stop gap measure until new build low flo ...

Tram Transport In Hungary
A tram (also known as a streetcar or trolley in Canada and the United States) is an urban rail transit in which vehicles, whether individual railcars or multiple-unit trains, run on tramway tracks on urban public streets; some include segments on segregated right-of-way. The tramlines or tram networks operated as public transport are called tramways or simply trams/streetcars. Because of their close similarities, trams are commonly included in the wider term ''light rail'', which also includes systems separated from other traffic. Tram vehicles are usually lighter and shorter than main line and rapid transit trains. Most trams use electrical power, usually fed by a pantograph sliding on an overhead line; older systems may use a trolley pole or a bow collector. In some cases, a contact shoe on a third rail is used. If necessary, they may have dual power systems—electricity in city streets and diesel in more rural environments. Occasionally, trams also carry freight. Some tra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |

Szeged-Hódmezővásárhely Tram-train
The Szeged-Hódmezővásárhely Tram-train is a tram-train system in Hungary between the cities of Csongrád-Csanád County, Szeged (the county seat) and Hódmezővásárhely (a city with county rights). Construction began on 4 April 2018, and it was inaugurated on 29 November 2021. History Many commute between the two cities during the school days, 60% of which by public transport. The cities are connected by regional buses and a train service that runs by the hour. The distance between the two bus stations is 26,2 km (16,2 miles) and the journey takes about 30–37 minutes (depending on the number of stops the bus has to take). Because of the traffic jams caused by the number of vehicles and the number of passengers, most buses are up to 10 minutes late. There is also a train service between Szeged and Hódmezővásárhely provided by a fleet of diesel trains, however this system is poorly operated as there is only one track available with the trains running on an hourl ...

Light Rail Transit Association
The Light Rail Transit Association (LRTA), formerly the Light Railway Transport League (LRTL), is a non-profit organisation whose purpose is to advocate and encourage research into the retention and development of light rail and tramway/streetcar systems. The LRTA publishes the monthly magazine '' Tramways & Urban Transit'' (formerly ''Modern Tramway''), and is based in the United Kingdom but with an international membership and remit. History The Light Railway Transport League was formed in 1937, and renamed to the LRTA in 1979. It was formed at a time when Britain's urban tramways were starting to decline. Because of the decline, the association campaigned for modern light rail in the UK, as typified by some " Stadtbahn" systems in Germany. The openings of the Tyne and Wear Metro in 1980, Manchester Metrolink in 1991 and new tram systems in Sheffield, Birmingham, Croydon and Nottingham Nottingham ( , East Midlands English, locally ) is a City status in the United Kin ...

Ian Allan Publishing
Ian Allan Publishing was an English publisher, established in 1942, which specialised in transport books. It was founded by Ian Allan. In 1942, Ian Allan, then working in the public relations department for the Southern Railway at Waterloo station, decided he could deal with many of the requests he received about rolling stock by collecting the information into a book. The result was his first book, ''ABC of Southern Locomotives''. This proved to be a success, contributing to the emergence of trainspotting as a popular hobby in the UK, and leading to the formation of the company.Ian Allan…the man who launched a million locospotters '' The Railway Magazine'' issue 1174 February 1999 pages 20-27 The company grew from a small producer of books for train enthusiasts and spotters to a large transport publisher.
