Description

Milan, the capital of the Lombardy region of Italy, has one of the largest tram networks in the world, dating back to 1881. Today there are no less than 17 routes covering a total of 71 route miles. There are various types of tram in daily use, both ancient and modern operating out of five depots.

This film is divided into four parts:

• The Tram History
• The Current Tram Fleet: consisting of a wide variety of approximately 300 trams of 6 main types dating from 1929 to 2010.
• The Depots
• Driver’s eye view

Filmed in good weather in high definition, this is as near to travelling on a tram in the 1930s as it’s possible to get!
