Looks kind of like Norway, so clean, no shit litter or plastic carrier bags stuck in trees

This is what the UK government should look into having trams that other cities could use trams to replace buses on certain routes. As trams are lot greener and more economical.

Personally i wouldn't divide Poznań tram system, to regular trams and fast trams. This is single network, and exactly same trams run through any sections, including fast tram section and underground tunnel. Actually there is a line that goes via fast tram section, then via center of the city as regular tram and ends up as underground tram in the tunnel section, single vehicle ;)
Fun fact, Duwag was the first type of tram operating on Poznań fast tram section. City ordered low flor Tatra trams, but they were delayed. After the ribbon cutting, the only tram that Poznań had for this route, was the oldest one, the Duwag ;)
Another fact. Poznań fast tram is the fastest tram line/section in Poland (operational speed). Actually in Poland, out of top 10 fastest lines, 5 (including nr 1) are in Poznań. Also on average, Poznań has the fastest trams in Poland.
Just to add, over 50% of trams (and bussed) in Poznań, are produced by local companies (1 public and 1 private), both companies created after 2000. To think that after the fall of the Iron Curtain, Poznań had only old, damaged tracks (some of which were not even suitable for use), outdated communist-made trams and no money to buy even a single new tram from aborad.

Descent trams. I’m amazed that these trams can accelerate so quickly.

How fast do the trams go on the express tram section? Based purely on the motor and track sounds of the Siemens Combino and comparing it to a reference tram system my guess would be around 60km/h
These trams do have really good acceleration though
The older trams (Z class) down in Melbourne reportedly have 1.5m/s^2 (3.35mph/s) acceleration though they're sadly held up by street running (faster in the suburbs)

[@damianborowczyk2046]

At this moment, max speed for the fast tram section is 70km/h. Can't say how fast they actually go, maybe there is some cab view video on YT with, speedometer visible. I heard that 90km/h isn't/wasn't big challenge for some trams. But higher speed reduces lifetime of tram elements and track, also increases noise.

[@benolifts]

Also line of sight driving has been restricted to 70kmh. In the UK it used be 80kmh until the Sandilands crash,, when it was reduced to 70kmh which is stupid, as the crash was caused by having no tripcock style speed protection, nothing to do with the speed itself.
