GVB Amsterdam Trams 1987-Leidseplein/Marnixstraat 

Yes, i enjoyed my visits to Amsterdam back then very much. I have more tram video to upload so you will be able to see more of old-ish Amsterdam soon!

Hi there, i don't speak Dutch i'm afraid but it looks like the video reminds you of times past. Check out this one if you like the Amsterdam Underground, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_HHxDJOQEHs.html, enjoy!

Soi Buakhao Correct! I made many miles in those trams when I was a boy in the age of 12-16 years old :) Those trams had a soul with their squeeks, rattles and bumpy rides. I'll check out your other vids too. Cheers and thanks for sharing this nostalgic video of Amsterdam and the public transportation systems!

Sorry for the late reply. I'm pleased i got the gist of your comment, i never knew the age of these trams but they looked & sounded good, and somewhat old, comparable to our London Routemasters. Plus i just love trams, a very civilised form of transport. I will get some more of these up in the near future.

En die stoeltjes van die oude trammen zaten echt lekker. Kon je gewoon helemaal inzakken. Tegenwoordig zit je op hard plastic .

@@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus How do you even get your hands on videos like this? Thanks for uploading

I have more and will get them up in due course.

Wow!.... Amazing to think i was visiting and decided to film the trams & underground.....

The comment above reads ' these trams will stay in my heart forever'...Yes, they certainly had an old world charm about them. Long gone now i should imagine?....

Soi Buakhao all gone unfortunately. Now we have the awful combino.

@@marcelhogenes729 I guessed they probably had when i was looking at Google Street View, there only appeared more modern ones in the views. They had a classic old look even in 1987 although i don't know their exact age.

Soi Buakhao the first series 551-578 / 851-878 appeared in 1957. So most of them were 40+ when they were demolished

@@marcelhogenes729 They did very well then, comparable with our Routemaster buses. I'm glad i took my rather large Panasonic M1 video camera on holiday with me, i did take a fair bit of video of the trams plus some of the Underground line in Amsterdam, see here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_HHxDJOQEHs.html

And more modern trams i should imagine. I seem to recall back then they wanted to open more Underground lines and get rid of the trams but i understand that didn't happen.....
