Description
Bremen's new tram is in the middle of the approval phase. One part of the process is the so-called "block ride". This checks that the "Nordlicht" does not collide with solid objects such as stop roofs or advertising boards, even under difficult conditions in the almost 80-kilometer rail network. Spacers on the outside and sandbags on the inside simulate the maximum movement of the tram when fully loaded and in strong crosswinds. In the video, car number 3201 is prepared for the journey.
