Copenhagen tram line 7: Husum - Kongens Nytorv
Closed

Copenhagen railcar 596, manufacturer Københavns Sporveje (KS), type Bogiemotorvogn, series 501-618, width 2.02 m, length 12.30 m, manufactured 1930-1941, with 28 seats and 39 standing places, signed Kg. Nytorv.

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.

Prescription envelope: Copenhagen tram line 7 with railcar 40 (1993)Old tram train on line 7 in the previous paintwork with decorations. 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".

40 years ago - line 7 switches to bus operation (1971)What a great film, great pictures, but it always gives me a little stab in the heart when I see trams. Just think if they had preserved this form of transport and modernized the network, it wouldn't have been necessary to reinvent the wheel, as our current talk about light rail goes on a lot.By SporvognDK - April 25, 1971.
