German Trams Kassel, Braunschweig & Magdeburg

Continuing our tour of German tram systems, we visit five more on this programme. Previously on German Trams 10 we concentrated on Berlin and three surrounding systems, this time we cover the large system at Kassel and the smaller system in Braunschweig in the former West Germany and Magdeburg, Halberstadt and Nordhausen in the former East Germany. We begin our filming in Kassel, which has a modern centre and is on the river Fulda. The trams are in a smart, predominantly blue livery and are operated by KVG. With our filming completed in the city centre we move to our next destination, Braunschweig. This is a modern city that has a historic and pedestrianised centre surrounded by tramways to a 1100mm gauge. The third destination is Magdeburg, a modern industrial city on the river Elbe. Our two final visits on the programme is firstly to the small town of Halberstadt with a metre gauge system operated by HVG and finally to Nordhausen.
