GVB 903
March 25th
The annual training sessions have been completed. This enables our staff to get back in the routine of tram operations, and enables our instructors to assess their skills. On the photo (by Raymond Naber) we see GVB 903 crossing GVB 533 at Kalfjeslaan passing loop. GVB 903 is the only car that we have, that is specially equipped with a drving instructor seat and equipment.

The restoration of interurban HTM 58 in The Hague has made a leap foward since the installation of the new balcony screens
Since the transportation to the Lijsterbesstraat a lot of repairs have been made by de Stichting Tramwerk, whereby holes in the roof were fixed, a new pantograph was assembled, traction motors and compressor were overhauled and so on.

Although the restoration is still far away from completion, we are looking forward to see this car return to Amsterdam and perform it's duties on the museumline.

All seats have now been installed and look fantastic. Testruns have been made to test the controllers, resistors, cabling and motors. The handbrakes have also been installed and adjusted. All works fine.
The car will now be paired with it's trailercar, number 43 for tests with the lighting and braking system.
It is anticipated that the car can be put into service some time in September.
