AUTUMN TOUR OF FRANCE, SPAIN AND PORTUGAL - SEP/OCT 2015 - GRANADA

The visit to Granada was interesting in that the tramway looks ready to start running anytime apart from there are no ticket machines in situ at the stops. The new tramway was due to open in early 2012.  It is a 16 km line with a 2.7km tunnel. Fitting out contracfts were only let in September 2015, but it is rumoured some cars will operate north of the tunnel this year.  We arrived at Certillo Maracena depot and could see 6 trams lined up outside the depot.  After sweet talking the security guard, he allowed us to step just inside the depot gates to take photos.
