Boogies Trains in: Cologne - May. 2024 - The Stadtbahn

A brief look at the tram network. It is a hybrid system of high and low floor routes which are numbered as U-Bahn. The trams operating in Croydon and Manchester are based on designs running in Cologne.

Thanks for the video and reviving my memories of Köln.

Many thanks for this! I used to live in Cologne in the 1980s and loved exploring the tram network. I think I still have the network map from that time.

Looking forward to the Rhine valley video! I have travelled that route both on a river cruise and on the old slow line between Koln and Frankfurt. It's very beautiful.

I have quite a backlog of material from recent trips. I think the Mosel valley will be ready soon. The Rhine will follow that.

Great video of the tram system. So many European countries have a far better integrated public transport system that puts us to shame. 🤓 🤔

@@deauvilledad07 While Cologne‘s transport is well integrated, as is all of Germany‘s transport, the light rail system the city has is flawed in many ways and ideally shouldn‘t have even been built the way it is today. A full-size metro complemented by trams would‘ve been better.
