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.
