Tram in Krefeld - SWK line - Maus report (2014)Information about this video: For all fans of Krefeld, the Lower Rhine, and the area around Krefeld! It first aired on ARD on February 2, 2014, and was later repeated on WDR/NDR, among others. This recording is from NDR and uploaded for fans. WDR reserves all rights. If the rights holder disapproves of its publication, this video will be promptly removed. Christoph von der Maus waits for the tram in the silk-weaving town of Krefeld on the Lower Rhine—short report from the "Sendung mit der Maus" (Show with the Mouse). Oh, Christoph is unfortunately not running fast enough, and the tram slips out from under his nose—such a misthinker. He misses the tram, but the display already shows that a new one will arrive in 8 minutes. Well, it's not long, but how does the display know that? In the morning, when Mrs. Pötenlütke heads to her tram, she first switches it on. The screens activate, and she moves the pantograph, which connects the tram to the overhead line. The power turns on, and the rearview mirrors fold out. Then, Mrs. Pötenlütke enters the line she needs today, line 41, which is the same line Christoph wants to take. The information is transmitted to the bar computer located behind the driver's seat, which, upon departure, sends a signal via the roof antenna indicating the tram's location. This signal is picked up by the antenna on top of the building where the computer is located, which then relays it to Mr. Früh, who sits in the control center. On his screen, he can see which trams are where: green means on time, yellow slightly late, and red very late. Everything is more or less in the green zone. Mr. Früh’s tram, number 604, is on its way, as you can see down there on the right—seven minutes away, moving quickly. Everything looks good, and Früh is satisfied. Just a few more minutes, and that's a real relief! Mrs. Pötenlütke thinks things are going smoothly. Here comes the next stop—everything is fine. Only five more minutes, and it's going great, Christoph thinks. But now, we can't go any further because of a completely normal traffic light—that's what a tram traffic light looks like. The crossbar means the tram can proceed. So, onward to the next stop—four minutes away. Can you see how quickly time passes? Christoph wonders. But there's a car parked so stupidly that the tram can't bypass it. It's on rails and can't avoid it. Mrs. Pötenlütke rings the bell, but no one notices. Mr. Früh also notices this; the 604 turns yellow, and the display remains at four minutes because it only indicates how long it would take without any disruption for the tram to reach the stop. Finally, the driver arrives, and the line clears again. Mrs. Pötenlütke can give it gas—or rather, power—and the display continues to show three minutes. Now, the tram isn't really moving forward because many passengers are boarding and leaving. Two more minutes—that's almost nothing, Christoph thinks. The tram will arrive at Christoph's stop in a minute, just one more minute. Mr. Früh also notices this and knows Christoph is waiting there. He sends him a message: “Hello, Christoph, the train will be right there.” That’s how it works—what a service! And there it is—the train really didn't take long, and with a display like that, waiting becomes somewhat easier. Christoph, have a good trip.By Events And Fun - February 2, 2014.

Krefeld local rail transport (2011)When the VRR was founded, it was stated that all lines should be in three digits. Various timetable areas have been set up for this. Krefeld, Mönchengladbach, and the district of Viersen are in the timetable area 0, so the lines that drive there have a leading 0—examples: 001 (mg), 088 (Viersen), and 043 (Krefeld). D'Dorf is located in the area of 7/8, on the left bank of the Rhine, with an 8, and on the right bank of the Rhine, with a 7.By 777whitestone - May 2011.
