This Saturday evening “Around the World in Trams” stays in Gothenburg as we take another look at a tram operating in that Swedish city.
So far, in this series of photos taken in Gothenburg on 8th August 2011 the trams we have featured are still part of the operating fleet but that changes today as we feature a vehicle here which was scrapped last year.
757 was built in 1966 and is an ASEA/ASJL M28 model of tram. This class was built 1965-1967 and the majority remained serviceable until 2021 when the decision was taken to withdraw the remaining trams for safety reasons. 757 ran for the last time on 28th October 2021 and was subsequently scrapped in August 2022.
In happier times the tram was running on line 3 with a classmate when captured on camera.
