It's the communist era failed tram, the ex-Poznań Konstal 102N. The main cause of failure in production is the driver's visibility risk at night (that's why the cause of earlier than normally retirement, in my city of Kraków, these were retired in 1997, after 28 years of operation, as these trams were introduced in 1969, and our city's MPK also has a one car of this type). After intervention about that, Konstal (now Alstom Polska) decided to return to copy their trams' design from Tatras. A result of it was 102Na, which also mostly was widely used until turn of centuries, our MPK used them until 2002 and last operator using them was MPK Wrocław, in 2012. It's so sad, why these trams were so retired too early...😢😢😢 The rail vehicles' guarantee normally last about 40-50 years.
