Prescription envelope: Copenhagen tram line 2 with articulated tram 806 (1993)The trams' colored line signs were both a practical and very festive feature in the cityscape, which was further enhanced in the evening by the colored roof lanterns in all possible color combinations.

Prescription envelope: Copenhagen night line B with railcar 705 at Brønshøj (1995)Brønshøj Square in the old days. Night line B originally ran along Frederikssundsvej to the city when it was established as a bus line in 1936. As early as 1 November 1936, it was replaced by trams due to the large number of passengers. In connection with the establishment of line E, the route was rerouted along Godthåbsvej. The night lines were discontinued from 11 April 1940 to 15 March 1952. On 3 November 1958, the night trams were replaced by diesel buses.
