i moved from the hague about two years ago, after living there for 25 plus years, I LOVE THESE VIDS..makes me wanna come back..Dank u wel voor het delen.
You can really hear the trams wheels slipping when braking at the stops from how slippery the rails are getting from the rain! Unless I could be wrong lol Great relaxing video!
Completely right! We can press a button to release some sand under the wheels for more grip, and the Avenio does this automatically as well when it detects the wheels slipping.
Usually we stop around the pole with the white sign. But there are occasions where we deviate from this, for instance to make it easier for passengers to leave the platform.
These videos are so peaceful :) Question: do you drivers have speed limits for each section of track that you have to obey, or is it just up to you to keep the speed under control when going around curves and such so that passengers aren't thrown around? I've noticed some green and yellow triangular signs that seem to denote the start and end of speed restrictions, but it doesn't appear to me as though there are any other posted speed signs along the tracks. Where I'm from (the USA), all our tram/light rail lines have speed limits that are so micromanaged that there are different posted speeds for every single curve, junction, station, etc. The result is that our tram lines just feel so slow and inefficient because the speed limits are often set at a very conservative value and the driver has no liberty to drive at what speed feels "right" -- they're strictly limited by the posted speed signs. Naturally, it was quite the surprise to me when I travelled to The Hague for the first time and rode a tram out to the beach, and the driver took the curves _very_ quickly, nearly knocking me over.
the speed limit is 50km/h, 15km/h when driving over switches, 25 when passing a platform and some bridges and pedastrian areas also have them. curves are at the drivers discrection
No, they are very different jobs. A tram operates at much lower speed (the maximum speed for this tram type here is 80 km/h, the network maximum is only 50 km/h), and they have much more lenient rules about separation of vehicles, as they drive on sight, without the strict block signalling of main railways. To put it very simply, driving a tram is closer to driving a bus than it is to a train.
Where you should go ok Google swimming or go back to work yay All my truck you have fun after work🎉🎉 you sure you're funny aren't you so you can go party or whatever you go party food through the bathroom working
It was exciting to see the views from your perspective while driving or guiding the tram. I enjoyed watching all of your videos and was wondering if you have an Instagram account or any other social media :)
it's so nice that u can just park ur tram by the beach, go outside, and enjoy the view.

OH! Nailed it lol. And that's super smart that they incorporated an automatic way to dispense the sand when needed as well.@@TramMeneer
Thanks, nice to see how much attention you are paying to all the screens and buttons. So much more complex than it looks when they come past my door.
A little relaxation on the beach and off to the city. Nice video. 👍 The cloudy sky blurs the colors of the landscape.
I couldn't manage all those steps. One at a time is all I can do.
Wel handig dat je na een strandwandeling je eigen tram bij je hebt...
Scheelt weer in de parkeerkosten
Haha, inderdaad. Jammer dat we vaak maar een paar minuten rust hebben. Niet zoveel tijd voor een wandeling dus...
*Operation*
1. Drive the tram to the beach.⛱🌊
2. Catch some fish.🐟
3. Come back to the tram on time.⌚
Beautiful line!
I think so too!
Think this would be a perfect tourist run across the City - except in high season at the Beach.
I love the rain!
nice video
Leuk dat je filmt van uit de avenio heb je toevallig wel eens traject video’s gemaakt voor je collega htm5000?
Nice video, you win another subscriber. I have a question, how do you know exactly when stop on the stations?

@@TramMeneer So nice to see this, success for you...❤️
@@M.I.G.U.E.L_22Very kind, thank you!
BISOUS BONJOUR DE LA FRANCE BIENVENUE JADORE CONTINUER MERCI
I like your videos I was wondering what is your favourite line
Thank you for your comment! My favourite is probably either line 2 (going through the tunnel) or line 17 (through the old city center). And yours?
Is er Voor de bestuurders een mogelijkheid om de pantograaf omlaag te doen? (Leuke video)
Denk het wel
Jazeker, zowel automatisch ( met een druk op de knop pantograaf omlaag ) als handmatig naar beneden draaien.
The first fast tram route in Europe, completely segregated.
These videos are so peaceful :)

How are tickets collected?
Is dit in Den Haag?
HTM betekent (was) Haagsche Tramweg Maatschappij
👍
Is a tram driver almost the same as an train driver?
No, they are very different jobs. A tram operates at much lower speed (the maximum speed for this tram type here is 80 km/h, the network maximum is only 50 km/h), and they have much more lenient rules about separation of vehicles, as they drive on sight, without the strict block signalling of main railways.

@@MrATimm okay thank you (even though i am trying my hardest to understand but thanks for the information)

Thank you for your nice comment! Unfortunately I do not have any other social media accounts, maybe in the future I will consider it :)
