InTramCities with Gordon Stewart


Aarhus : 22nd July, 2023
Aarhus was the first Danish city to reintroduce trams, its new network opening in stages from 2017 . A new street tramway line was built along the waterfront, originally home to old docks, alongside Kystvejen, Skollebacken and Havnegade with a link to the main station. The waterfront alignment connects two formerly independently operated local railways, to Grenaa in the north (which terminated at Ostbanetorvet on Kystvejen) and to Odder in the south which terminated at the main station. Trams from the north are now of Stadler's Tango stable and  terminate at the main station. Trams from Odder feature Stadler's more tramway-suited Variobahn design.  Trams from Odder use most of the new waterfront route before turning north-west along Norrebrogade on to which is a genuine street tramway serving amongst others the University and University hospital. The latter has been constructed on an expansive site on the edge of the city. Frequencies on this urban section are increased by services commencing at the main station. The hospital is the terminus for many services as the line subsequently runs through mostly open countryside to Lystrup and alternatively on a short branch from this route at Lisbjerg. At Lystrup terminus there is a connection with the Grenaa line which offers a fast, limited stop service directly to the city, betraying its railway origins.       


Above : A Variobahn tram calls at the Skolebakken tram stop on the new waterfront tram alignment. This Line 2 service will go beyond the main station and continue south to the small town of Odder over the local railway line which was converted to light rail standards for Aarhus' Letbane (Light-rail) project. This section of line also carries Line 2 services from Grenaa operated by Tango trams with a slightly "heavier" feel making them genuine tram-trains.
Note on photos :
Aarhus C station is regarded as the central point of the system for photo identification purposes.
Tram numbering : each tram has a number for each end : eg 1110 is the opposite end from 1210 on the same tram
