In Antwerp, there are still quite many unmodernized PCCs running, mostly only line 11, those are epic! For example, they still have the old small doors, brown leathered seats, and an awesome old-style stopping light! The modernized PCCs in Antwerp can couple and mostly run coupled, those look a bit more like these but are still a lot better. They don't have those ugly sliding doors for example, they have another type of folding doors instead, the same type as used on the old Düwag trams in Vienna and some other cities.
Just a little correction: there are 3 types of trams in Ghent : this one (PCC), a newer one, very square shaped (Siemens Hermelijn) and the newest that came in service least than a year ago: the Bombardier Flexity 2 ;)
a tram should express the soul of a city and the Gent tram does!!!! Most beautiful tram of the world!

+imaginox9 Thats strange, I didn't see any brand new trams.
*****
They run only on line 1 on week, but not during weekends or holidays
They sound like Hornby trains!
When is your random tram tour or do one
