Stadt-Bahn |
Hannover is another Germany city busy converting its tram network to what the Germans called the Stadtbahn. Stadtbahns are what I would call Light Rail. In Hannover it involves 3 mainline subways thru downtown with high level platforms. Outside the tunnels, the lines resemble tram lines with ground level loading. Hannover worked hard on its system to prepare for EXPO 2000 that it had hosted.
Hannover still retains 2 full tram lines that go to the main train station. The equipment is fully interchangeable. The newest cars are very striking.
