This image is taken at the coastal resort of Scheveningen in the Netherlands which was on the Den Haag system and shows HTM GTL8 no. 3026 which has just terminated with a line 8 service, a route which no longer operates.

By the time of this photo it was owned by Keith Chadbourne who used it in his duties with the Scouts to transport people around the UK and beyond until it was sold on for preservation in 1999.
