Tram crossings ESS (Odarslövsvägen) / Swedish light rail level crossings (2025) The light rail level crossings with traffic lights at Odarslöv road roundabout near ESS tram stop at the city of Lund's tramway. A new city district is planned in the area but only a handful of houses have been built yet. Lund is now Sweden's fourth city with trams - after Stockholm, Gothenburg and Norrköping - when the Lund C - ESS line opened in 2020. The trams themselves are of the Urbos 3 model from the Spanish manufacturer CAF and have in Lund been given the L1 designation

Light rail for Gladsaxe part 2 - Lund (2021) I visited Lund and its new light rail, which opened in May 2021. In Gladsaxe and Copenhagen, the Ring 3 light rail is set to open in 2025, and I would like to learn more about the potential benefits of light rail for the cities and urban life.
The video is a follow-up to my visit to Bergen 4 years ago on the occasion of the municipal elections.
Four years ago, I was in Bergen, Norway. To tell a little about light rail. And tell why the light rail in Ring 3 should finally be adopted. That happened in 2018, and now I've gone to Lund (Sweden). To look at their newly opened light rail and to see what it can do for their local city. What do you think of the light rail here in Lund? It's really cool. However, there are some differences between the light rail here in Lund and the one that will run through Gladsaxe on Ring 3. It still tells a little about what awaits after 2025. When we get to the other side of the extensive construction work. One thing is to build the light rail itself. Another notable feature is the forecourts at all the stations.
In Gladsaxe, we have prioritized 25 million DKK for a new and upgraded version of Ring 3, benefiting all residents. You are only confirmed in how important it is to have a green expression - When you stand here in Lund - and see what they have done to make their new urban space attractive. The light rail can do more than the buses that run today. A light rail can have as many passengers as 3-4 city buses. And thus you can future-proof the capacity for public transport - along Ring 3. That is also the reason why the light rail should not be fully loaded from day one - it must be able to handle the needs for many years to come. Many have been concerned about the view of the light rail's overhead wires. But I actually think they have solved it very well here in Lund. And it doesn't seem that different from what we are used to along the sidewalks. Part of that story also includes the fact that the heavier battery-powered light rail has a longer travel time; however, it also has a greater climate impact because the batteries have a relatively short lifespan, and during production, they emit something as well. Overall, the trip to Lund shows that the light rail is more than just public transportation. It is also a way to create new and more inviting urban spaces that give something back to the citizens. Now I am even more looking forward to the light rail opening in 2025! By Jakob Skovgaard Koed -

Trolleys/Trams in Lund, Sweden (2022) Lund's trolley/tramway system opened in December 2020. It was the first new trolley system in Sweden since 1911. It is now one of four Swedish cities with trolleys, alongside Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Norrköping.
The current Lund network includes nine stations and 5.5km of double track running from Lund Central Station to ESS - European Spallation Source.
The trolleys are Spanish CAF Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles Urbos 100/3.

Now we make tourism of the tramway in Lund (2020) Now we make tourism of the tramway in Lund! Buy a 24-hour ticket, it costs the same as two single tickets, and ride the hop on hop off tram through the research city of Lund. Use our new brochure about the research city of Lund as a guide. The tramway will be operated by Skånetrafiken and the first trip will be on December 13 this year.
The brochure is available here: http://bit.ly/forskarstaden
A trip with the tramway in Lund goes through northeastern Lund, which could be seen as one of Europe's largest research parks. It is, of course, impossible to tell you about all the research-oriented companies that are there, but with the brochure as a guide you at least get a good experience of the research city of Lund. The brochure tells about Lund University with its Biomedical Center and Chemistry Center, and about Ideon Science Park, Medicon Village, MAX IV Laboratory and about the European Spallation Source, ESS.
Welcome to Lund to experience some tram tourism! 🙂 By Lunds ideella turistinformation Destination Lund -
