Prescription envelope: Copenhagen tram line 7 with railcar 596 (1993)Copenhagen's most popular tram type was the bogie tram, designed by Ib Lunding. The first trams entered service as early as 1930. Lunding's elegant combination of platform and central entrance trams aroused great admiration among experts. Later, the trams were converted to permanent conductors and the original elegance was lost. Line 7 was converted to bus operation on 25 April 1971.

On 25 April 1971, the line switched to diesel bus operation. Linde Apotek Frederikssundsvej 152 2700 Brønshøj Tel. 38 60 61 11 - Fax 38 60 11 30By Henrik Boye, John Lundgren, Linde Apotek - 1996.

This type of railcar was supposed to be retired around 1940, but due to World War II the cars were rebuilt with larger platforms and extended undercarriage. The old trams were completely withdrawn from service in the summer of 1966.

Prescription envelope: Copenhagen tram line 2 with railcar 77 at Brønshøj (1995)The terminus for line 2 in the winter of 1938-39. The old trams were completely withdrawn from service from 1 May 1966, and most ended their days in a blazing bonfire at the landfill in Sydhavnen. A few have been preserved, and it is still possible to experience a ride on an old tram at the Skjoldenæsholm Tram Museum. Line 2 was "busified" on 19 October 1969.

Prescription envelope: Copenhagen tram line 11 with railcar 450 (1993)Line 11 was a child of World War II. It was established on April 22, 1944 with a route from Brønshøj Torv to Kongens Enghave. Right from the start, the newly built "scrap cars" were used on the line, but later it lost its importance and was only operated with old equipment. The line was closed on July 21, 1958. Because of the green and blue line colors, it was nicknamed "Undulaten".

As early as 1931-1936, line 7 was run to Brønshøj Torv during the evening rush hour in winter. Line 7 was called "The Theatre Train" because of its terminus at Kongens Nytorv. With its short line, it was supposed to be particularly attractive to older tram users, which is why it was nicknamed "The Pension Train" and "The Old Man's Line".
