The tramway is a metre gauge system with around 200 trams in service operating from two depots. Probably the most notable feature of the system is a 792m long tunnel which runs under the castle and has been dedicated to tram use since 1983.<\/p>\n<p>In this photo we see Tatra T3 <strong>7741<\/strong> (along with an unidentified classmate) operating on route 9 in Sturova. Both trams are in the revised all red livery and feature extensive advertising as well (the traditional livery was red and cream). The majority of the tram fleet in Bratislava is made of Tatras. These trams were captured on camera on 16th May 2012.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27544\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=27544\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-27544\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27544\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-27544\" title=\"7741-bh\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/7741-bh-550x366.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/7741-bh-550x366.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/7741-bh-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/7741-bh.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-27544\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photograph by Bob Hodges<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We now move to the Slovakian capital of Bratislava for a couple of week\u2019s as we take a look at some of the trams that operate on the tramway there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[63],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27543"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=27543"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27543\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27546,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27543\/revisions\/27546"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27543"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
