This randomly makes me want to capture the GTL 8 on camera (I am a Train, Tram, Bus, Waterbus (Dordrecht), Metro & Plane spotter)
Well then go ahead! I won't hesitate, if I were you. If I remember it correctly, Sjoerd mentioned, there are few last functioning GTL8 trams IRL and the Hague transport company wants to retire them.TreinspotterDeamyen wrote: ↑13 Mar 2024, 03:33 This randomly makes me want to capture the GTL 8 on camera (I am a Train, Tram, Bus, Waterbus (Dordrecht), Metro & Plane spotter)
It does. Here is their (English) website: https://www.hoftrammm.nl/enAlistairCowell wrote: ↑13 Mar 2024, 12:30 ...does that a tram restaurant that serves food? If so, find a siding or
a terminus to park, otherwise you would be blocking other revenue-earning tram services
Cool. Wait.... What's Hoftrammm?Sjoerd wrote: ↑13 Mar 2024, 13:36 It does. Here is their (English) website: https://www.hoftrammm.nl/en
And it is only stationary for a short time (15 minutes), to let the passengers board (it's on reservations only, you can't just show up). Usually at the terminus Voorburg Station, at the end of a small branchline with no current service. As soon as everybody is on board, the tram departs, and you get dinner during a 2,5 hour tour around the city. At the end, you are dropped of where you started.

So it's a Hofstad food tram? Why would they do that, even though there are food places, U.S.A has restaurants. I am trying to learn about Europe's uniqueness.Sjoerd wrote: ↑15 Mar 2024, 10:22

Tram
This seems obvious...
mmm
As in "hmmm... that tastes good" (It is a driving restaurant after all)
Update on the project: I have enquired for some information on the interior of the Hoftrammm... Waiting for a reply now...
Because it's not usual to have a restaurant tram in your city. Also that restaurant tram can be a good tourist attraction. It's not unusual, that transport companies uses some of it's vehicles as a tourist attractions. The Prague has these tram-related tourist attractions as well.
