Wroclaw Tram (2016)We visit the fifth biggest tram network in Poland. What did the free tram market in Wrocław look like, and why hasn't it lasted to this day? Does adding plus mean better when it comes to trams? Why did the Wrocław tram manufacturer miss the chance for growth and eventually go bankrupt? These and many other questions about Wrocław Public Transport will be discussed. In this episode, I'll talk about the low-floor tram. I invite you to watch. We are in Wrocław, the fourth-largest city in Poland, with a population of nearly 640,000 residents today. The development of the capital of Lower Silesia began with the founding of a town on Ostrów Tumski, located on the Oder River. The city is crossed by four of its tributaries and water canals, forming the most extensive waterway system in Poland within an urban area. However, we will stay on land and focus on trams, which are the main form of public transportation in Wrocław. For nearly 140 years, residents of Wrocław have used trams. The first carriages were horse-drawn, but it was the electric tram that was introduced here—the first in Poland—in 1893, which was 123 years ago. In the early 20th century, track construction and tram operation were managed by multiple companies, including two independent from the city, leading to rapid but also chaotic and inconsistent development of the network. To address this, the city aimed to merge these companies into a single municipal entity, so that after reconstructing and connecting the tracks, a coherent tram network could be established. Ultimately, the last company was absorbed in 1931, ending Wrocław's free market for tram networks. Due to the operation of several tram companies over the years, at least 10 depots for this mode of transport were established in Wrocław. Today, only three serve regular tram traffic; one was merged with another, and another still operates on its original site, although it no longer handles trams. There are historic trams, but the other depots are no longer in use. One, depot number 7 on Grabiszyńska Street, was revitalized, and in September 2016, a history center was opened there. This depot, which offers insights into Wrocław’s history, features trams running on 84 km of tracks, making it the fifth-largest tram network in Poland. Its layout includes radially converging routes leading to two ring route systems around Śródmieście. Twenty-two lines serve Wrocław’s tram network. Trams run only during daytime hours and follow a very consistent schedule for most lines: every 12 minutes during peak hours, every 15 minutes outside of peak hours, and every 20 minutes on weekends. Only one line runs more frequently, every 6 minutes, during peak hours, as indicated by line number 33. An interesting feature is the circular lines Zer, L, and P, which detour left or right, respectively. Wrocław planned to create corridors of higher-quality service, including trams. New tracks were built, stop platforms were renovated, power substations were modernized, and low-floor, bidirectional trams were purchased. These trams served three lines numbered starting from 31. These are standard tram route elements. Additionally, a priority service for trains at intersections with traffic lights is operated as part of the ITS system. Did these measures actually enable high speeds? A timetable analysis quickly dispels those doubts. During peak hours, the average speed is about 20 km/h. They aren't fast trams, but can be considered accelerated. Ultimately, the plus designation was dropped, not surprisingly, since these routes, apart from using only low-floor trams, differ little in quality from other lines. I'm feeling things I can control, take hold inside my soul. The tram fleet totals 224 trams, including five Marek trams. Nearly 60% of the fleet is based on the Constal 105na design, the most popular high-floor tram in Poland. One tram is 100 meters long, and in Wrocław, all are combined into two-car trains. Most of these have been modernized by Wrocławski Protram. The Protram repair and modernization plant is located in the former N5 Popowice tram depot. Initially, it modernized the Constal 105 to the 105 NWR standard, which later evolved into producing its own 204 model, based on the 105 NWR. Its following product was a three-section 205 tram with a small bogie—22p—featuring a low-floor section along the entire length. A total of 116 modernized or new trams operate in Wrocław. Meanwhile, the plant also completed orders for other Polish cities, including Kraków, Poznań, and Szczecin.By Niskopodłogowiec - November 13, 2016.

Trams in Wrocław, Poland, Part I (2014)This is the first episode of a series featuring the tram system of Wrocław in Poland. Wrocław is the 4th largest city of Poland. Its extensive tram network has a track length of 84km which is served by 20 lines, resulting in a total of 250km line length. It is quite dense. Around the downtown area, there are tram tracks almost everywhere, and they reach quite far into the outskirts on some lines. The majority of the fleet consists of Konstal 105Na vehicles and their modernized pendants Konstal Protram 105NWr. However, there are also some low floor vehicles, namely Protram WrAs 204 and 205, and also some newer Škoda 16T and 19T articulated trams. The first part of this series focuses on the downtown area. The film starts at Galeria Dominikańska, which is a quite busy intersection. We then head north toward Hala Targowa, where there are some nice bridges over the Odra river. The film then shows several scenes around Rynek (a quite busy station) and the single-track line that runs through the city centre, before we go to Plac Bema (another busy intersection). We then follow the tracks toward Plac Grunwaldzki (yet another busy intersection), where the first part concludes.

Tram Plus was running around Wrocław (2011)Tram Plus made its first run around Wrocław, with tram drivers learning how to operate the machine from specialists from the Czech Republic. We have recently purchased and are beginning to receive new 19-ton stairs. In total, there will be 31 of them. Currently, we have two such vehicles. The Skoda 19-ton is slightly different from the one we have been using so far. It has doors on both sides because the route it is intended for does not have a typical loop, i.e., a passenger tram. The exterior appearance of the tram is very similar to the previous one. The Porsche has been preserved, but the most important thing for passengers is that it is now air-conditioned. Not only will it be air-conditioned, but it will also have air conditioning. A monitoring system has not yet been installed. I hope it will not only protect us from vandals but also assist passengers in cases of robberies or thefts. Additionally, a completely new feature, previously unused in MPK, is ceiling-mounted monitors that will be used to provide information to passengers. We will be able to display essential information on them. Changes, for example, will include city information. Perhaps in the future, we will also use them for advertising purposes, which will likely please our cyclists. This tram features a special designated area. According to bicycle regulations, it is comfortable, and I hope cyclists will use it, unlike the previous ones, where we repeatedly encountered criticism that sitting sideways and looking directly into another passenger’s eyes is neither comfortable nor pleasant. Therefore, at our request, Skoda Transportation changed the seating arrangement at the front and rear of the carriage. There are no longer sideways benches facing the direction of travel, only standard seats. A new interior color scheme has been implemented, and we have a completely different seat upholstery. I hope all our passengers will find it very appealing. This is the logo of Wrocław, a letter characteristic of our city. There are also embroidered pictograms on the seats indicating special seating for mothers with children and disabled persons. There is also a seat reserved for a staff member who can inform passengers about changes in ticket prices.By Gazeta Wrocławska - February 8, 2011.

It seems likely that there was a 30 there, which didn't seem quite right; it's just a little off. Hello, everything's fine. 11:14. The main circuit breaker, meaning the switch, isn't powering the motors right now; it's just off. I think it's left on permanently, but it's better not to, because if we turn it off, we might not be able to turn it back on. They won't show themselves at all, meaning they're not touching each other. Exactly, they must be, you know, so he's stuck if they aren't touching—late 1970s. In 1970, like Krzysiek. We say '78. But yes, that's what I think. Late 1970s. Exactly. No, I won't know; we'd have to check the RPK archives to see how many and when, the last few—yes, we accept that. As the first gentleman, please note that the distinction and management's trust vary. This is how it is, with the management's confidence and distinction, just how it is. I'm also interested in these vehicles, especially the ones that run on the tracks. It's somewhat satisfying that, along the way, my interests and dreams have come together, and one of the tests has worked out. It functions well with both the oldest and newest versions, but I prefer the first one, specifically from version 2 to 0. At least with this, you can go through the cabin, and they give you a report. You said Baba Yaga received it. Yes, a report from Mrs. Ania. Oh. And Odiani, did someone mention that, or did he? I also mean, generally speaking, it was a report that impressed us; it was such a strange period. They should report it in the facts, but that's how it is. It's described that way, and it drives, too. We need the media. There will be interest when this period is like this; more so, leave time 37. Yes, here we go at full hours, and arrival times vary. Now we're too early. Generally, this one will be leaving soon, and the next one will arrive in 20 minutes. If it's 45 minutes, it's just getting there. Well, it's arriving between stops, so we're going now, and it will be a hit, passing through them. Okay, I'll fit it in before. We'll pass, and then make a circle around it. We're not stopping here; we're just waiting for it to come back on.By Piotr H - February 22, 2009.
