Gotha Tram city line (2018)The Gotha tram is one of the smallest German tram companies. Tatra KT4D trams still dominate the operation. They could soon be replaced by used trams from Switzerland. At the time the photos were taken, the section of the line to the main station was out of service due to renovation work.By worldtradesurfer - March 23, 2018 - March 25, 2018.

Gotha: Thuringian Forest Railway becomes more barrier-free (2012)The first low-floor car has started operating on the Thuringian Forest Railway's forest railway line 4 between Tabarz and Gotha. This will make things a little easier for people with disabilities or mothers with strollers in the future. This tram will be seen more often in the Gotha tram network from now on, especially on the forest railway line 4 between Tabatz and Gotha. It is the new tram from Thuringian Forest Railway and Tramway Gotha GmbH. It is the first low-floor tram to operate, and reaching this point hasn't been easy. Dieter Schädel explained that it was very challenging because the used vehicle market in the tram sector is also very tight. A new tram involves very high investment costs, and many companies currently lack the resources. Last year, we looked into all transport companies with a 1000 mm gauge that might sell such vehicles. We found what we needed in Ludwigshafen. There, you could buy four low-floor trams from the GT6 series from 1961 to 1964. They were converted for wheelchair access in Gotha in the early 1990s, where they were adapted to our own technology. As a company, we now have separate validation systems. We have company-specific ticket vending machines. We made some upgrades to the onboard lighting, making it more energy-efficient and safer. One tram with transport to Gotha costs €19,000, and another €300,000 was spent on renovating all four. This investment was 50% funded by the Free City of Thuringia. The improvements have been well received by people with disabilities and mothers with strollers, as they previously found it hard to climb the steps on the tram. The second of the four trams is expected to begin operations this year, with the remaining two following in 2013. Operation on the Gotha line is planned for 8 to 10 years. The only remaining task now is to work on making the last stop at the Gotha Orangery accessible to everyone, in collaboration with the city.By Funke Thüringen - TA - OTZ - TLZ - September 24, 2012.
