An old Bern tram meets a modern suburban light-rail car just outside the city in the early Nineties. I read as modernisation continues here in the Swiss Capital there are plans afoot to bring this other operator's cars right into the old city.

Nice picture. It's amazing how despite being maybe only 15 years old, such scenes now seem part of a distant past. How time flies!
The old tram in the background is now just history. The city livery has changed to bright red. Most of the trams of the type in the foreground are now smothered in advertising. The official livery is now an all-over light blue but you'd have difficulty spotting an example. Plans are afoot to have route G transferred to the city operator which mens this trams has got another repaint coming. And its also got a rebuild coming its way to make it low floor. Nothing will be as it was. Even the streets are rarely this clean these days.
I may be a stick in the mud but I like things they used to be with green boggie-trams and of course those FBW's.
