InTramCities with Gordon Stewart
           INFRASTRUCTURE, ARCHITECTURE and ENVIRONMENT along streets with trams

Street scenes can be fascinating. Tramways bring another element to the mix, making tram routes through cities and suburbs even more so, with the infrastructure they add, the life they bring and the impressive spectacle of the tramcars themselves. Modern tramway developments have often brought about vehicle traffic calming measures and beautification of the streets they serve.

Gordon Stewart travels regularly throughout Europe to create one of the finest tramway photograph collections on the internet. Although trams are the focal point and common thread throughout, it is where they are running which provides the diversity and interest in his photos. As well as city centres with their grand architecture, Gordon takes you to less well-known suburbs to give a real feel for the tramway city. The photos are becoming an important historical record for those interested in the city itself as well as its trams and also show how trams fit into urban environments to help provide an attractive and accessible transportation system.

ABOUT THE TRAM PHOTOGRAPHS 

There are now over 38,000 photos from 142 tramway cities.

Transport Types : Coverage is limited to light rail systems with a predominantly "tramway" character but also includes Paris' so-called Tramway on Tyres.

Series List : Scroll down for the list of tramways covered in city sequence (and year sequence within this for systems visited on multiple occasions) with link to photos.

Presentation : All series are presented on-line in a nine-per-screen format below a tabular list of photos with details of actual or nearest tram stop, direction of view, direction in which the tram is travelling and tram number where available. Photos are listed in the sequence in which they were taken and for more recent series, the name of the street along which the trams are running is shown in the comments column, but only where there is a change of street.

Larger photos (1000 pixel long-side) are presented for very recent series as well as the 9/screen format. The series will only be available for a limited period from date of the visit, typically one year.

What's new ? :  In 2019, InTramCities has added the following : Lisbon (Portugal), Almada (Portugal), Manchester (UK), Sassari (Italy), Nottingham (UK), Nantes (France), Angers (France), Le Mans (France), Basel (Switzerland) and Freiburg (Germany).

Catalogue : You can view or download the full photograph catalogue as an MS Excel format spreadsheet. The approximate file size is approx 2 MB. 
Updated to : 19/11/19.  Click here

Maps : For route maps and diagrams, please go to the website of the transport operator or if appropriate the local transport coordinating body. Most have a range of excellent downloadable maps, generally in pdf format but often also as jpg/gif format images

This website is an educational resource and is non-commercial. 

This website does not attempt to describe the history or technical attributes of the tramways. These aspects are covered by specialist publications and websites elsewhere.
 
This website does try to present as comprehensively as possible a record of a tramway city at a given point in time. Although coverage is rarely fully complete, the objective now  is to capture views along each route at and around each tram stop. No other website or photograph resource offers this level of coverage.

Use of images : Images may be made available by arrangement for approved uses such as research, publications and materials promoting tramway schemes. Please contact the webmaster

CLOSED TRACKS : Despite the numerous new tramway openings in recent years, some traditional tram tracks have been closed. In most cases this has been in favour of improved alignments such as tunnels or relocation . Photos in the InTramCities collection illustrate some of these. Click here for more   (Private only)

Freiburg (Germany) : 10th-13th October, 2019
The south German city of Freiburg-im-Breisgau has a successful tramway system which has undergone an number of expansions in the 21st century. The latest, the so-called Rotteckring route, which relieves the tastefully rebuilt and largely pedestrianised city centre of tram congestion at the central interchange at Bertoldsbrunnen, was opened on 16th March, 2019.  
Above : View south along the new Rotteckring line with tram 255 approaching Stadttheater tram stop. Here it crosses the intensively served line between Hauptbahnhof and the old city's central junction at Bertoldsbrunnen. This part of the new route has been extensively traffic calmed and the part in front of the futuristic University Library and the classical Theater on the right has become a haven for cyclists. To the left of the road but not in shot is the imposing building of the city's University and the memorial to the city's former synagogue which was razed to the ground by fire in an attack in 1938.
