Chronology

18.04.2024	The bi-directional Urbos 100 (Stadslijner) has been put into service, currently on routes 1,8,10 and 24.
06.11.2023	The CAF Urbos 100 (Stadslijner) have been put in service on line 1.
12.10.2023	Delivery of the first new double-end tram. These trams will replace the Ghent P.C.C.'s and will be used for shuttles in the tramtunnels.
06.06.2023	05/06/2023: all services on route 24 are operated with CAF trams, no more P.C.C.'s on route 24. 09/06/2023: due to roadworks and single track, route 7 runs between Olympiade and Eilandje and this for at least 6 months or more. 15/06/2023: a solution has been found for route 7 and the tram operates for exactly 1 day on the normal path. 16/06/2023: due to road- and trackworks, route 7 will be diverted to Groenplaats till 30/08/2023. Route 7: Mortsel — Groenplaats. 01/07/2023: the route to Hoboken (route 4) will be closed till the complete renovation, which is not yet planned, maybe something for 2024/2025. Articulated buses will offer a shuttle service. Route 2 (Merksem — Zwaantjes) and 4 (Zwaantjes — Berchem) will be combined and operating with low-floor trams. This means also that no more PCC's will run on routes 2 and 4. In the summer months, a limited number of P.C.C.'s will probably only run on routes 7 and 8.
28.05.2023	150 years tram in Antwerpen, included a tram parade.
