Description
Driving with 3024 reminds you that the GT8N time is running out.
Station displays are broken, heating is broken in the first M and B sections, and the second M section is currently experiencing such strong vibrations that many passengers have to move after a short time. So you can actually only ride at the very front, the A section is the only thing that is still comfortable to use. Or so I thought...
While I'm riding along for a while, the train suddenly stops braking at around 30 km/h, it starts beeping in the driver's cabin, then the rail brake goes off with two strong jolts until the train finally stops. Passengers look around uncertainly in the direction of the driver's door.
Brown water residue coming out of the ceiling on a switch box that contains the air compressor that is clearly audible. A child says to his mother "Mom, the train stinks". The tram drivers look at each other meaningfully when the driver changes. They certainly don't treat the train gently.
It's a farewell in installments. But the car is currently still rolling back and forth on line 1 every day.
