Antwerp tramway network

The work permit for electrifying the tram system was granted to CGTA on 12 March 1902, following the application made on 22 November 1901.On 9 July 1902 horse drawn cars started to move on a former omnibus route segment from Nieuwstraat to Grote Markt.The first gantry for an electric tram line was installed on 10 June 1902 on the Kunstlei boulevard (now Frankrijklei), between the crossing of De Keyserlei and the Gemeenteplaats (now Franklin Rooseveltplaats).On 13 August 1902 the catenary was connected to the temporary electric power substation, which was erected in a tram depot on Boudewijnstraat.In August 2012, De Lijn ordered a fleet of Bombardier Flexity 2 trams, including 28 for Antwerp.On 6 November 2017, De Lijn started testing so-called "mega-trams" consisting of two Hermelijnen coupled together, on route 3.Their use would increase the capacity of the underground sections of the line where the minimum headway has already reached its limit of 2 minutes.
