Sibiu's tram (part 1)

The only tram route in Sibiu is the rural line to Rasinari which has changed very little since 1982. The Romanian 4 wheel trams have been replaced by bogie cars from Geneva and the tram service has been drastically cut and now one car provides an hourly peak hour service on weekdays and an all day service on Saturdays and Sundays. There is also an hourly weekday bus service.
1. Geneva 721 as we found it at about 09:30 - parked up after its morning journeys. Fortunately there was a timetable pasted in the window from which we deduced that the next journey was at 13:00.
2. We were right and a driver arrived at 12:45 and pumped up the air etc.
3. At Rasinari the tram reverses round this triangle with no supervision at the rear.
4. Drawing forwards.
