Number 1470, one of the last surviving Tatra T2 type trams, carrying
Number 1470, one of the last surviving Tatra T2 type trams, carrying "40 years of T2 Trams in Brno" signs. Taken outside the main station in Brno in 1998, the driver deliberately slowed down when he realised he was being photographed to avoid a tram passing the other way - much to the amazement of his passengers!

Index | NextHere I am (second from the left) with three friends at Mladec. At the time, 15 April 1998, this short (6km) branch had just a few trains on certain (inconvenient) days of the year only, and now has no passenger service at all. However it was, and still is, possible to charter a train on the branch for a price equivalent to 50 tickets, so this is our end-of-line group photograph having spent the princely sum of about GBP4 on our own special train. The camera is set for time-delayed exposure and is balanced on the buffer beam of the diesel railcar 810 121-4: with the engine switched off, of course.
