I am not sure if this should go in the international section or tram section of the forum but as it is about international services i have put it here. But feel free to move it if this is the wrong section.
I am trying to find out what are the longest trams in the world?
There are actually two different questions as it depends how you define longest so i am interested in both:
1. What is the longest individual tram in service?
2. What is the longest tram formation in service?
So i am interested in the answers to both of these.
For part 1 my guesses would be one of these perhaps:
• Budapest Hungary - Here they run nine section CAF Urbos trams.
• Dublin Ireland - Here they run nine section Alsthom Citadis trams.
It is difficult to find the exact measurements of these trams so if anyone knows that would be great.
For part 2 my guesses would be one of these perhaps:
• Paris France - Here they run two five section Alsthom Citadis trams attached (so ten sections total) on the T2 route.
• Sydney Australia - Here they run two five section Alsthom Citadis trams attached (so ten sections total) on the L1/L2/L3 routes.
• Denver Colorado USA - Here they run a mixture of Siemens SD100 and Siemens SD160 trams which can all run in formations of 1/2/3/4 units depending on the service and the time of day. So the services that run as four units attached are very long.
• Salt Lake City Utah USA - Here they run a mixture of Siemens SD100 and Siemens SD160 and Siemens S70/S700 trams which can all run in formations of 1/2/3/4 units depending on the service and the time of day. So the services that run as four units attached are very long.
• Seattle Washington USA - Here they run a mixture of Kinki Sharyo Mitsui LRV and Siemens S70/S700 trams which can all run in formations of 1/2/3/4 units depending on the service and the time of day. So the services that run as four units attached are very long.
Again it is difficult to find the exact measurements of these trams so if anyone knows that would be great.
I would be interested to hear if anyone knows which of these are the longest or if you know of any other longer trams in operation anywhere?
