An old tram from Gent doing service in Antwerp (at the terminus Schijnpoort)



Similar tram, on the way to Schijnpoort


All A7ii + MG Orestor 100/2.8 (Zebra, M42)

How does a tram from Gent end up in Antwerp, well normally all terminus tram stops in Antwerp have a full circle track so the tram can turn around and always drives in the same direction. So every tram has only one driver place and only doors on the right side. However in Gent they have several terminus points where the tram has to drive back in the opposite direction, so trams there has driver places in both directions and doors on both sides. Due to the extensive roadworks of the Antwerp ring this line 12 has to be temporarily (probably the next 5 years or longer) shortened and there is no room to build a cicle there for the trams to turn around. So they chartered these old trams from Gent to maintain the service on this line.
