20 march 2010 - Lisboa (PT) – Calcada de Santo Andre. Chaos in the Alfama (1). Line 12 used to run in both directions here – just look at the problems facing trams climbing this very steep and narrow street. This is a 700 Class tram – not a Class 500 ‘Remodolado’ – so is double-ended and has only a trolley pole. The 500 series cars have been heavily rebuilt as single-enders, of course, from this original 700 type.

20 march 2010 - Lisboa (PT) - Calcada de Santo Andre. Chaos in the Alfama (2). Suddenly, a man appears from nowhere holding one of the little red/green signalling bats once used to control the two-way tram traffic along these very narrow streets – I have no idea who he is, or where he obtained the bat. I don’t think he works for Carris! For some years now, traffic signals have replaced the men who once stood on duty here.

20 march 2010 - Lisboa (PT) – Calcada de Santo Andre. One of the very narrow streets which form the famous Graca circle. This tram is not a ‘remodolado’, but is largely in original condition. It runs on a British Maley and Taunton truck and has Metrovick motors, although the body was built locally in the Carris workshops. It has only a trolley pole.
