Neuwe Parklaan Den Haag Netherlands 11th September 1982

Two vintages of trams at the junction of Koninginnegracht and Dr Aletta Jacobsweg. Yellow-liveried HTM 1227, an American PCC tram built under license in Belgium, with a number 9 service is heading for the Kurhaus on the beach in Scheveningen. It is followed by new red and cream GTL8-I number 3014 on an 11 service. The system is standard gauge and is energised at 600v DC

Living on Niewe Parklaan at this time, I used to catch the number 9 to the Mobil office in the Babylon Centre which overlooked Den Haag Central station. Madurodam is behind the camera.

HFF & have great weekend.

A very nice picture, and fantastic record keeping!!!

I was still a youngster in 1982, just about to set off to Europe for the first time!

Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
