It is raining and cool today and will be like this all day today and tomorrow. A good day to ride the trams. The trouble with trams is that they don't have toilets.
I went over to the hauptbahnhof which has three very large arched roofs. The two outside ones have several high level through tracks while the centre one is a low level stub end.

| The kids love the model railway where they can control the trains for a euro. This one is three rail Marklin, one I saw at Frankfurt Hbf was two rail. |

We started off on the #7 to Weixdorf.

| Most trams are single ended and have a gallery at the back. |
About half way out a group of about 16 eight year old kids with 2 teachers got on the end section with us. The supervisors had them under full control.

The end of the line is just a turning circle so we stayed on and went to Pennrich which is in the middle of nowhere.
The line is a mixture of centre street running and private right of way with portions of single track in restricted roads and at the end of the line.

There was a break at Hauptbahnhof for personal needs and a snack and then sampled the #4 route to the eastern end at Laubegast and the western section as far as the end of the fare zone at Forststreasse. We passed a lot of historic buildings and hope that the weather will improve before we leave so we can get to see them properly.
