Why doesn't Hamburg, Germany have trams? | #Tramburg
Hamburg is the largest German city to lack trams!
And that's actually a really odd thing. Frankfurt, Berlin, Cologne, Bremen - all of these places have robust tram networks.
However, Hamburg did once have a huge tram network - until it all closed down in 1978.
So what happened? Why did it happen? And what's the potential future of trams in Hamburg?
Let's cover it today, as we get into the ins, out, and desire to make Tramburg a reality again!

    Having spent the past 15 years working in an office on the Stresemannstrasse, that would be soooo much improved by putting the tram back in. But I think the one thing that needs to be done first is to complete an Autobahn-Ring (ish), by improving the north-side connection between the A7 and the A1 (leading the A24). Too many lorries think they need to drive straight through the City rather than drive south through the Tunnel to the Horster Dreieck.

    A characteristic feature of Hamburg is that every line crosses the main station and every new line will also cross the main station. Unfortunately, a ring is missing and the old, dirty central station has the highest passenger volume in Germany.

      Well, there is the U3 Ring Line, but when that was built, Hamburg was a lot smaller. What you are referring to is presumably an outer ring line connecting e.g. Wedel, Pinneberg, Norderstedt, Ahrensburg and Barsbüttel

    Frequent is not quite the case here on the S2. And There's another S-Bahn Line from Lindau via Bregenz to Romanshorn in the Region, which also serves 3 countries.

    • @TFTSB
      @TFTSB วันที่ผ่านมา

      Perhaps more commuter esque than traditionally S Bahn perhaps

    • @jakobwinder3687
      @jakobwinder3687 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @TFTSB Not really, the whole line is a single track and no one wants to invest into it. There are long distance trains every two hours as well as several freight trains taking up basically all the capacity. The line is operated by the Austrian ÖBB, and they have enough capacity for these trains. Because Lichtenstein isn't willing to pay to upgrade the line to make more frequent SBahn service possible, they don't really care that much about Liechtenstein's commuters and travellers. There are several bus lines, operating at quite high frequencies by Liechtenstein, which are quite well used. The Swiss and Austrian people don't really travel to Liechtenstein that often, so the Long Distance Trains are usually good enough to get between these countries. It would of course make sense to add a second track partially to make train crossings possible, but neither of the three country's interest is big enough to do that. Also, there was a referendum about the SBahn project FLACH (First Letters of the Countries) which was rejected.

    As both Ends are in Schleswig Holstein, I don't know if it really is that suprising. It also is the slowest way to get from volksdorf to norderstedt, aside from walking, because of it snaking nature. The whole route is just weird, as it seems to want to take any station it can find.
