(HD) Trams and Trolleybuses in Naples 05/04/13

Now available in 1080p HD! Certainly one of the more vibrant electrical transport systems, the city of Naples in southern Italy sports both an extensive tram and trolleybus system to serve this bustling city of 960,000 people. The city is one of only a few places that was able to retain its tramway system right the way through to the 21st century without closure. Like many Italian cities the introduction of the more flexible Trolleybus and Motorbus resulted in widespread reduction and eventually closure of these routes but later saw them return to working order with what became known as the 'LRT Trend' of the mid-1990s. Trams began running in Naples in 1875 and run over 7.3 miles of the city with 3 routes in operation. The main stock run by the tram system is the AnsaldoBreda Sirio low-floor tram that was built 2002 to see off some of the older streetcars that had been running since the 1950's. The other tram type that is in operation at present is the Peter Witt Streetcar, designed to the specification of that of Cleveland Railway commissioner which became incredibly popular in the United States. Today, 30 of these CT139K streetcars continue to operate about the city, with several examples seen in the film. Trolleybuses are also prominent in the city. The first route to be opened in Naples was in May 1940, this later being extended in 1964 to incorporate 8 routes that continue to run today. The fleet comrpises of 87 AnsaldoBreda F19 buses built between 1999 and 2000 which were used to replace the ageing 1961 Alfa Romeo buses and have the advantage of being able to run off the wires if necessary by using a seperate diesel engine. The situation in Naples where Trams and Trolleybuses run together is indeed becoming a rarity as LRT systems now start to replace the trolleybus in many cities that once had thriving systems, but for now both systems remain prominent. Enjoy!
