The transfer rides to the hippodrome were impressive. This trams were parked close to the hippodrome and afterwards they could depart separately, with the exception of the first combination, which consisted of a motorcar and an trailer.This system ensured that no one had to wait long for a tram.

The line was in full renovation and perhaps this junction was used for the first time. It turned out that the overhead line was just not hanging at the right place...

This is more than likely a transfer of trams between Ostend and Knokke.

These trams have been coupled as an experiment, albeit on shuttles, as here between the hippodrome and the station.

This bidirectional tram was used specifically for shuttles. A good example were the market services at the time, such as here between Wenduine and Blankenberge.

The photo shows the typical composition of those years. The older trailers were only used in last position when there was a lot of traffic. There were several reasons for this: most passengers used the first vehicles anyway (which were therefore more comfortable) and the last vehicle (which was the oldest) could therefore easily be uncoupled once the rush was over.

In the meantime, there are fences around which make such images impossible. The dunes have also increased enormously in volume.
The tram carried out an express service: it only stopped at a limited number of stops along the way.

This photo shows the special construction of this tram type: a back door was built in, through which the conductor could walk to and from the trailer while the vehicle was running.
