Prescription envelope: Copenhagen tram line 5 with railcar 448 (1993)Due to World War II, the construction of the popular bogie type had to be stopped and in 1942 the first scrap cars came onto the streets on lines 2 and 5. The cars were called "spare cars" or "swingpjatter" because of their somewhat rocking ride. Line 5 earned the charming nickname "lortevognen" because of the yellow-brown line color.

Med sin korte linjestrækning skulle den være særlig tiltrækkende blandt ældre sporvejsfolk, hvorfor den fik tilnavnet "Aldersrentevognen" og "Gammelmandslinjen".

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.

Prescription envelope: Copenhagen tram line 8 with railcar 511 (1993)Line 8 was best known for its "old" trams, but in the last six months of the line's life it was favoured with architect Lunding's famous bogie motor cars, converted to a permanent conductor and without a sidecar. Folkeviddet had its own special relationship with line 8, and the daily newspaper "Politiken" often reported on the back page "At tønke sig" about conductor Fodklang and conductor Strop. Perhaps this is also why in the summer you can experience line 8 on rubber wheels in "Tivoli".
