Noo skoda ? mi nenapadlo ze s tym bude az tolko problemov.. ja som to videl len z pohladu cestujuceho.. ..na chudakov vodicov som uplne zabudol.. ? noo a pri vojenskej nemocnci maju vodici k dispozicii nieco viac ako na NOU ? Noo a kedze ta linka 211 nevznikla len tak nezistne z lasky k trolejom nevis aky bude jej osud po skonceni obchadzok na mileticke? Ci ju nechaju abo zrusia.. a preco vlastne ma chodit len na vikendy? Ak je to kvoli vodicom spravene tak oni cez tyzden na zachod nechodia?

You mean the Siemens Combinos?
The first two trams come to Budapest in March. These two prototypes will be doing the 'test-runs' without passengers (6000 kms each).
Providing the tests go as planned, they will start to operate on lines 4 and 6 (obviously the two lines with the biggest traffic).
This December, there will be 20 pieces, and all 40 will be in service by May 2007.
Technical details (only a few):
length: 54 m 6 moduls, without steps, 8 doors each side
width: 2,4 m
level of floor: 32 cm
capacity: 64/350
speed: they can do 70 km/h but will only be allowed for 50...... ? although they coudn't do much more on the boulevard anyway
What else....
I think these are the most important characteristics. I won't go into 'electricity', I'm not good at things like that ?
Ákos Varga is not my relative ? and I only know his page, but not he himself.
The best catalogue..... yes, probably Bálint's. It has the biggest database, that's for sure.
