1. Plenty of electricity! Ex Magdeburg T4D. Very few of these in service.

2. I was very pleased to ride on this tram. One of the very few Romanian built Timis trams remaining. We only saw this one with matching tailer also number 1.

3. The backbone of the fleet are ex Berlin KT4Ds.

4. In Potsdam fleet livery, several of these modernised KT4Ds were in service. Note the plug doors and replacement windows. These are in excellent condition.
