THE German city of Bochum celebrated the latest addition to its tram network on October 7 with a day of festivities and free rides marking the completion of the 2.6km eastern extension of Line 302 from Unterstrasse to Langendreer S-Bahn station.
GERMANY's Bochum-Gelsenkirchen Tramways (Bogestra) signed a contract worth around €110m with Stadler Pankow on August 27 for a further 42 Variobahn metre-gauge bidirectional low-floor LRVs, which will replace the troubled fleet of NFD6D vehicles.
