Herentalsebaan
Route 10, P+R Schoonselhof

This is not a stop on route 10. Was he diverted for some reason? It was the only 10 passing here in 2 hours.

The renovation — by CAF! — of these (Siemens) trams will start soon. The trams will also get new (CAF) fronts.

Due to work on the Mexico bridge, route 24 was diverted to the M.A.S. for one afternoon.
This line is no longer used in normal service. The indications of route 70 are still at the stop, but no longer exists.

Antwerpen, Siemens MGT6-1-1 # 7218 — route 7

Eindhalte (endstation) Eilandje — MAS
Route 24

2 diverted trams: line 7 due to railway works towards Berchem Station and line 24 due to works on the Mexico bridge.
In normal circumstances, almost only P.C.C.'s and a lot of walkers (and tram passengers) can be seen here, but because of Covid-19 the situation was totally different.

After more than 100 years, the route number 8 disappeared (temporarily) and services were taken over by route 4. Only the route number changed, but it still was an occasion for an spontaneous celebration on the very last journey.

The driver of the very last journey on the then route 8 was surprised by the arrival of an impromptu orchestra and not only got a good laugh out of it, but had also fun with them and all the passengers...

Stelplaats (depot) Gentbrugge

The trams ex Bochum were transported in a hurry and a new Antwerp tram was officially presented: a few days later there were elections!
Ghent would only receive its own new trams later, too late to be presented before the elections...
Under this beautiful sheet was a surprise: a new tram... for Antwerp...
