The first of the 60 new, longer trams, so-called M34, are now being delivered to Västtrafik in Gothenburg, Sweden. The tram is 12 metres, longer than the current models, and can accommodate almost twice as many passengers.
Another step forward has been taken towards the introduction of digital in-cab signalling to the UK’s East Coast Main Line (ECML) after Alstom has completed dynamic ETCS (European Train Control System) testing for a key passenger train.
