Ah yes, the T1 normal line to just a standard destination

In case you were wondering: that terminus is at the football stadium of the club of Liège which is called Standard

I briefly passed by Liège-Guillemins last year and walked a bit around to see it was still in construction.

I'm glad to see it's now working.

Also, this made me chuckle a bit.

30 metres to stop is pretty good performance though. A freight train with Belgian braking rules would take up to 2km to stop.

Something about that poster strikes me as being somewhat… derivative…

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

It's a noble goal and a good message but it's kind of ruined by the smaller patronizing text. It's weird to tell people that the tram always has priority, but the people's security is its priority. They should pick one.

And? Is there a lawnmower tram?

[–] ormr@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

I really ask myself why this is not a thing. Because the costs of mowing the grass are one argument of cities against having grass on the tracks.

What if you could affix a lawnmower attachment to a normal tram and have it mow the grass on its normal route?

Just a standard one

Looking really fun to play on

Especially blindfolded with headphones in

Alright, fess up. Who told the tram to touch grass?

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

This is neat! We've got lots of trams in Cologne, but i've never seen grassy tram tracks around here.
