T3 nostalgia tram line launched in Prague

The original T3 trams from the early 1960’s have been gradually removed from most of Prague’s streets. The Prague transport authority has announced the move. Modernised T3’s will however remain. The older T3 will, however, circulate the capital’s streets on so-called nostalgia lines. One such, the route 23 through Charles Square and past Prague Castle, was launched on Saturday. The original T3’s were credited with saving the city’s tram network when transport bosses were pondering whether to replace all trams with buses.
