The Peak Tram which has been closed for more than a year reopens on Aug. 27, when the sixth-generation new tram will be officially put into service. Peak Tramways Company held a media tour prior to the reopening.
The new generation tram was made in Switzerland and carries a modern classic design concept with its body in the iconic green to pay homage to the earlier third and fourth generation trams. The new tram can carry 210 people, compared with 120 in the previous version showing an increase in passenger capacity of 75 percent. The floor adopts a wave prototype design to increase the safety of passengers when standing. The window size of the new tram is 30 percent larger than before, and the top is also equipped with a sunroof.
