Polish Trams 4- Poznan & Bydgoszcz

This is the fourth programme in this Polish Trams series that now brings the Independent Transport Videos cameras to the cities of Poznan and Bydgoszcz. We begin in Poznan, which is situated some 310 km west from the capital, Warsaw. Electric tram operations began here in 1898 and the system has built up to some 68 km of standard gauge track with 18 routes. The trams are operated by MPK Poznan and carry a smart bright green and yellow livery. At the time of filming the fleet was made up of a good variety of vehicles. Our second city is Bydgoszcz, situated on the Brda River some 300 km northwest from Warsaw and was part of Germany until 1920 and previously known as Bromberg. Electric trams began operating here in 1896 and today run on some 40 km of metre gauge track with 10 routes. The trams are operated by MZK w Bydgoszczy and are in a white, red and blue livery.
