Nostalgic Lisbon, I've visited many years ago and was surprised that some of the trams were actually made and used in the UK and sold second hand to the Lisbon public transport many years ago yet they're still running. Funny how the once wealthy people who built the houses are gone whilst the buildings look dilapidated yet the cars parked outside are all well kept and shiny.
Well it's not due to money but due to climate and need to close the public transport lines just for scaffolding for one facade, it's not worth it very often, and even gives some sort of a charm to it, it is the same like some areas of paris or venice, nothing to do with funds at all.
Just browsing You Tube and it was part of things i'm interested in (Trains, etc.). Took a chance, and it's amazing. Keep it up. Lots of folks are interested in trains. I'm from Naugatuck, Connecticut, U.S.A.
1. В России, транспортное средство на цепной тяге называют фуникулёром, и говорят, что в парке Гонконга есть и фуникулёром и длинная извилистая канатная дорога 2. В Лисабоне, стоимость проезда на ней дорогая, даже на очень короткие промежутки, скорее всего некоторые туристы используют как аттракцион, другим проще пешком подняться.
That's a steep tramway, but how is it driven? I see a slot between the tracks, is there a cable in it or a sort of rack system? As the trams have pantographs they must have drive motors unlike the San Francisco street cars which have a mechanism that grips on an ever moving cable trough a slot in the road.
The two carriages, identical and numbered 1 and 2, are made up of two command aisles, and a passenger lounge with two bench seats with their backs facing the windows, all at the same horizontal level - with a higher end (anterior in the sense of descending) and another closer to the ground, such as the Elevador da Glória, in what differs from many other funiculars. The entrances and exits of each carriage are made through two doors equipped with a pantographic gate and located at the end with the smallest difference in level in relation to the outside, on both sides of the active command post on the rise. The path is 188 m, with an average slope of 22.9%, on a double rail track embedded in the common street floor, with a gauge of 90 cm and a central slit for connecting the cable.
Yes, there is a cable, and each car has its own traction. Both trams work together and balance each other. The system only allows movement if both drivers move the cars.

So ein abenteuerliche Straßenbahnfahrt kann man wohl nur in Lissabon erleben: Wegen ihrer ganz schmalen Spur und den extrem engen Kurven würde so eine Tram vom deutschen TÜV nämlich gar nicht erst zugelassen ...
I have travelled on this funicular many times. And what always amazes me is the appalling state of the paintwork on the adjacent buildings. Surely the operatirs could arrange to allow access for , say, 72 consecutive hours once every ten years. Purely for redecorating.
You state it is a funicular, though there appear to be pantographs powering it. There seems to be a slot between the rails, so is there an underground cable like a San Francisco Cable Car, in which case, why the pantographs?
@@fredblonder7850 The term "funicular" is quite wide ranging. However, most such systems use what is basically a rack railway system. This particular one the cogs on board the cars engage in teeth set into the side of the running rails. Next time I am over there I will shoot a video clearly showing this.
@@fredblonder7850 Because the cable is there not to provide traction, but to hold both trams in place. Each tram has its own traction and they contrabalance each other via the cable while working together.
That’s the first funicular I’ve seen that runs on a street with doors opening onto it. Normally control is from the top, the track is dedicated to the funicular, and the entire track can be seen from the top. Is there a driver on each car? Can they stop it if there’s a blockage on the street?
@@viennatramway cool, another different adaptation of technology. I grew up in Pittsburgh, which has some serious very steep hills near the rivers, and has what they call inclined planes which are still used by commuters, as well as tourists. Not quite as old as Lisbon.

I had a picture from IKEA with elevador da Gloria tram for 10 years... I love it.
i missed this trams .... ohh lisbon... thanxs for making my childhood aswome.... ❤️
Lisbon is beautiful, nice people and excellent food!
And wonderful music! Not only fado.
Мы согласны.
I loved these a lot when I rode them! So funky looking!
Lisbon fantastic place to visit .

I read the description. I am from Australia and this video was in my recommended/home page today (14 Feb 2021)
At the end of the Austrialian movie Malcolm these trams are seen if I remember correctly.
I have been to Lisbon, and I rode the famous no.28 tram. But I never knew there was this elevator... when to go back?

It just showed up in my recommended list. Tom Scott has done some videos on unusual elevators, so maybe it comes from me watching his channel.

One fine day someone woke up and thought: "Yep gonna build a city on a mountain"
And an elevator in the street!
Protection from pirates forced them to build high.
make that 7
7 mountains actually. But you can find fairly flat routes between them
@@MrMatavelhas mountains? 🤣🤣not 7 mountains, 7 hills...more than 7 actually.
Woow! This vehicle is a perfect collaboration of a Funicular, Cog-Wheel train and Tram :O
I was born 2 days later in the south of Portugal ahah love this!
Cable cars. Thought only San Francisco had them. Very cool.

This video just popped out in my video feed, most likely because I watched videos about trams like these before
Thank you so much….😊
I visited Lisbon in 1984. Time for an update.
i LOVE Lisbon !!
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Was wondering why the electric pickup and the cable slot. I gather the Lisbon Elevadors are a cross between tram and funicular. Amazing.
Very nice video and fun to watch. Have a nice day.
Very impressive video, thanks.
You probably didn't search for this video
is this still working?
i want to ride someday!
yes!
I actually searched for some videos about Lisbon recently.
So I am not quite surprised.
Lisboa é lindaaaaaaaa 🥰
@Ligia Gom ainda bem que em Lisboa não há uma só placa com indicação Porto ( só hesiste norte ) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
God, I love Lisbon.
Super video ! :)
This was filmed on my birthday!
Amazing place
I watch transport videos, some Lisbon tram video got recommended so I watched it, and today YT recommended this
Crazy trams doing wheelies and stoppies...
I need to visit Lisbon really bad.
life is so calm and peaceful here
Hope to see them on our stopover there in September next year.
did you see them?
Ya algorithm
Recommending this to everyone when?
Like the tram, it took a while to get to the top
Seattle had a "counterbalance" trolley on Queen Ann Ave. locals still refer to the hill as the counterbalance.
That's a steep tramway, but how is it driven?

Each car has a drive motor and there's a cable under the center rail.
@@psirvent8 So do both complement each other or does the drive motor work on the cable via wheels? A bit like the Fell system?

What you support? The tram?
I love how they just switch to the other elevator on its way up
Are the tranvías automatic when adjusting to incline to maintain level or needs to be done manually? 🚋

This is nice
Wowwww
Настоящий паропанк !
cable trams?
nice Video!
これ、どういう仕掛けなんだろう？
パンタグラフが付いているから車体に動力が付いていて、それで動いているんだよね
でも、こんな急坂は鉄の車輪とレールでは登れないと思うけど
線路の間に細い溝のようなものが見えるけど、そこに何か仕掛けが有るのだろうか？
気になる
Всем привет из Лиссабона это старая видео тут щас на много красивее
Because TH-cam recommends it.
This makes me want to play "Crazy Taxi"
If you can survive the running of the street cars you get a free tee-shirt! The bulls are nothing, but those street cars will run you down!
Good video =)
а зачем 2 пантографа на крыше??
Ciao un saluto a tutti i Portoghesi dalla Svizzera.😄😊
Are these funicular-like trams are still in service?
Yes
Of course!
Americans will have a hard time understanding the day this was filmed
I am having a hard time understanding what you are saying.
why this tram uses double pantograph ..
i think this coasts alot to the same single pantograph installation result !
its for the electric steering
it has nothing to do with steering, it was done to avoid galvanic corrosion
Steering is done by rails, traction by cable, like in a lift.

Keep your head, hands and arms inside the coach, and you'll keep your head, hands and arms! Close clearances!
Downhill regen. Should supply a lot of the power for the one going up.
what's horizontal stays horizontal
Nice 👍
So much graffiti everywhere.So sad.
Very little actually, only on one side of one tram.
so true haha :D
so much worry everywhere
Not any more - they are covered in that crap now.
