A #BLT🇨🇭#Basel area line 17 peak-time service, seen earlier this afternoon leaving #Ettingen. These #Schindler Be4/8 and Be4/6 units are currently being phased out here. They will operate in #Lviv 🇺🇦 in the future. Level boarding, low floor, #Stadler trams are replacing the Schindlers here in Basel.

Pictures of #Stadler #Tango vehicles, taken earlier this week along the western branch of the #Basel🇨🇭#BLT #TramTrain line 10, around #Ettingen. Dubbed “Bähnli” by the locals, this is actually an international service: about 5 kilometres down the line, the tram makes a stop at #Leymen in #Alsace 🇫🇷.

A photo which could have been taken some 25 years ago, yet it’s from today: a #Basel🇨🇭 region Be4/8-Be4/6 #Schindler #BLT tram (built/modified in the late 1970s and the 1990s) running alongside an otherwise empty #Ettingen to #Therwil road. #17 used to be the old #Birsigtalbahn line number.

Seen while on a cycling tour in the #Basel🇨🇭 area earlier this afternoon: a #BLT line 10 class Be6/10 #Stadler “Tango” #tram leaves #Ettingen at speed, heading to #Basel. This is the former #Birsigtalbahn narrow gauge line. It is, legally and technically, still considered as a railway.
