Mercatorstraat

Photo posted to commemorate the 60th anniversary of this tram, which is still in regular service.
Route 2 still runs at this place, but now underground: above nothing reminds of the tram's existence anymore.

Groenplaats

Aвтор: Stephen Rees

The old situation on the Groenplaats, when line 7 (from time to time, here behind line 8), line 8, 4 and 3 (shuttle between Groenplaats and Lambermontplaats) ended here. A couple of years later (1979), line 8 goes to Lambermontplaats, line 7 to St. Pietersvliet and line 8 was replaced by line 4. In 2019 only 1 tramline comes on the Groenplaats (line 4) and the loop is only used for service reasons and not for normal operations.

Cab/controls

The original driver's post of an Antwerp P.C.C. A large part of the space is occupied by the sale of different types of tickets: 'direct' (= single ride), 'transfer' (ride with 1 change) and a multi-ride ticket, where the driver had to stamp the first ride(s).
Typical for P.C.C.'s is that the pedals are the only means of operating the vehicle.

Interior, view toward front

In 1970, the driver's compartment was still completely open... and the trams were absolutely inaccessible to the huge prams... which were virtually non-existent at the time.

Old Photos (N.M.V.B. — Interurban trams)

Bredabaan

A postcard of unfortunately mediocre quality. It is one of the few known shots of a crossing between a P.C.C. tram of the city tram and an S tram of the N.M.V.B. This was only possible between 1960 and 1968. I am not aware of the existence of any other color photos.
This photo once inspired us to redo this 50 years of the closure of the N.M.V.B. in Antwerpen, with an older tram: the S-car cannot leave the tram museum anymore...

Stelplaats Hoboken (Jan Van de Wouwerstraat)

The tram was only delivered three weeks earlier and is therefore still in its original condition, including a seat for a conductor: one-man operation was not yet in place at that time. The raised seat can be seen at the front next to the door.
