Nice Tramway Line 2 at the Airport (2019)The western surface section of Nice’s new T2 tramway opened in 2018 and is catenary-free. The Alstom Citadis X05 trams are equipped with Ecopack supercapacitors, which are recharged at stops in 20 seconds using Alstom’s SRS ground-based static charging technology. The line is the first application of SRS, a development of Alstom’s APS ground-level power supply technology. Line T2 provides a link to the Airport and a light rail service for the new commercial/residential developments around Cadam. As elsewhere in France, the tram is part of an urban improvement scheme. The tracks are mainly laid in a grass reservation, and much greenery and landscaping have been planted. Travel within the Airport is free, as the tram also serves as the inter-terminal shuttle. The eastern underground section of the line to Port Lympia is scheduled to open in Summer 2019. However, the geology was more problematic than anticipated, so this may not happen.By michaelinlondon Belfast - April 2019.
