Crotramin testaaminen Helsingissä

Kävin eilen koeistumassa näitä komeita kuppipenkkejä. Jalkoja ei saa suoraan kun toisella puolella ottaa kotelot kiinni jalkaan. Eli joutuu istumaan hieman vinossa..

Lisäksi mielenkiintosia oli nuo "käsiremmit" seisoville matkustajille, joutuu roikkumaan nimittäin lähes istuvan ihmisen päällä että saa kiinni sieltä..

Ja olihan tuo kyllä tuhottoman pitkä :D
 
I am following every information about the ZET 2263 (now HKL 2263) in Helsinki although I do not understand much of your language.
All the best to the forum community in 2008 and thank you for every new information :D
 
SRS:n jlf-jäsenet huom! Olethan SRS-sähköpostiringissä? Nyt kannattaa uudistaa siinä oleminen ja pikaisesti ilmoitus sihteerille! Vanhat liittymiset ovat erääntyneet. Ohjeet viime lehdessä.

I think the tram looks neat and with a different color more suitable for the city. It's a rule made by the city council trams have to be green and yellow. Let's see how the technics work on Helsinki's tramrails as that is what count's the most.
 
Tänään tuo liikuskeli noin klo 14 Kaisaniemessä. Nyt saa ainakin todellista testiä kun on lunta, vettä, jäätä ja loskaa.
 
For our friends far from here in Croatia I have a pleasure to tell, that the Finnish Tramway Society had a test run with Zagreb 2263 in Helsinki at Saturday the 12th January. The run took app. 2 hours and we passed the both Helsinki lines, 6 and 8, that will be those the tram will serve in regular service in the coming half a year.

I have experienced quite many tram cities around the world and I am glad to tell, that Crotram passed quite well the difficult trackwork in Helsinki. It runs much smoother than the Variotrams in Helsinki. The noise level inside is lower and the unit takes the curves smoothly and quietly. Both acceleration and brakeing were also smooth but still strong. The change from electric brakeing to mechanical (disk) brake had no jerk.

I also discussed with the drivers, and they thougt Crotram as a nice tool to work. Easy to operate and no need to think about the driving as with the elder Helsinki trams and Variotram.

As you may know, the Zagreb version is not suitable for the whole Helsinki network as is. Hills are steeper than in Zagreb. The distance from the axle to end of the car is too long and/or the free height of the end too low. Also a Helsinki tram requires torsional flexibility. Crotram as it is at the moment is rigid around the longitudial axle of the car - as are all the other trams in Helsinki - but with it's length of 30 meters this will cause problems. But all this is something that I might compare to the size of the shoes. The model might be OK, but you need to choose your number, i.e. adjust the model to each city's needs.

Anyway, it is nice to have Crotram here. And I may estimate the the citizens will be happy with it during the coming period in regular service.

There are some pictures available from this test run at the "Kuvat" (Pictures) folder in thread "HKL 2263 SRS-ajelulla" at this forum.

Thank you very much for this extensive report and particulary to write it in english. I have quoted the whole text on our forum:

Quite a number of readers will understand the english version, and we will translate into croatian if necessary.
I hope to personally see (and test myself ;) ) the tram in Helsinki if it will still be there in the first week of June :D
