InTramCities with Gordon Stewart


Halle, Germany : 24th March, 1997
Halle has an extensive metre-gauge tramway system operated by a large fleet of modernised Tatra T4D trams, but augmented by Esslingen-built GT4s purchased from Stutgart and Freiburg between 1990 and 1992. Delivery has also been taken of new low-floor trams of the "Bochum" type from Duewag.

In common with many tramways in the former German Democratic Republic, the 1990s saw a rapid modernisation of route alignments and rolling stock and by 1996, Halle's system presented a modern and high quality appearance. The network will also be extended, with a link to Halle Neustadt now under construction. Unusually, this enormous urban development of around 80,000 inhabitants to the west of Halle and across the River Saale was not given a tramway link when it was developed in the 1970s. Construction work began in April 1998 to build a link along the wide street "Magistrale" to the existing Heide route at Rennbahn with two branches serving the western part of Halle Neustadt. The second phase of the development involves building a new line through the city centre to Hauptbahnhof via Glauchaerplatz and Franckeplatz. This new line not only provides the east-west cross-city route hitherto missing in the Halle network, but also allows the main railway station to be better served by trams. As part of the development, the existing north-south line which runs through the middle of a large street roundabout at Riebeckplatz will be realigned to run closer to the Hauptbahnhof
