Tampere tramway’s test runs in the centre of the city continue – now with two trams. This is also the final run for the prototype, a farewell tour, as it will be transported back to the factory in Kajaani and converted into a serial production unit.
During the second half of this episode, we will get to see trams in Hervanta district, on training runs for traffic controllers.

Tampereen raitiotien koeajot keskustassa jatkuvat – nyt kahden vaunun voimin. Tämä on samalla prototyyppiratikan jäähyväisnäytös, sillä Lajinsa Ensimmäinen Tampereen Ratikka matkaa takaisin Kajaanin tehtaalle, missä se muutetaan sarjatuotantoyksiköksi.
Tämän jakson loppupuoliskolla nähdään vielä raitiovaunuja liikenteenohjaajien koulutusajoissa Hervannassa.
Škoda ForCity Smart Artic X34 -prototyyppiraitiovaunun sekä ensimmäiset sarjatuotantoyksiköt TRO02 ja TRO03 valmisti Škoda Transtech Kajaanissa v. 2020

В Тамперском трамвае испытания в центре города продолжаются – теперь уже с двумя трамваями. Это одновременно прощальный прогон для прототипа, поскольку он будет отправлен обратно на завод в Каяани и преобразован в серийный вагон.
Во второй половине этого выпуска мы увидим трамваи в районе Херванта, на учебных пробегах для диспетчеров.
Трамваи Škoda ForCity Smart Artic X34 производит компания Škoda Transtech: прототип и первые серийные вагоны TRO02 и TRO03 были построены в 2020 г.
Текст на боковой стороне прототипа гласит: Первый в Своём Роде Тамперский Трамвайчик
