120 YEARS OF ELECTRIC TRAMWAYS IN ESSEN - Mike Russell

 
The electric tramways of Essen will be 120 years old this year and I am advised that plans are under way for a big celebration to take place for one day only, on Saturday 21st September 2013, probably between 1100 and 1700hrs.
 
It is expected that there will be a rolling-stock display, a cavalcade of historic tramcars and a specially-reinforced service on Kulturlinie 107 serving the Zollverein World Heritage Site, using cars from the museum fleet.  It is understood that the neighbouring BOGESTRA undertaking, with whom Essen has a long working relationship, will also be contributing to the event.
 
Final details will not be available until later, but if you are interested you need to "block" this date in your diary now.
