Komentarai miesto po nuotraukomis Coimbra (troleibusas)

Není to podobný model jako Berliet v Jerevanu?

Занятный аппарат…
На первый взгляд - будто колхозный ремонт таганрогского DAF’а.

Ясно, надеюсь восстановят

> Троллейбус в Коимбре всё?((

На главной странице города новость, что движение остановлено с прошлого года и возможно возобновится с 2024. Гугло-перевод:

> "Троллейбусное движение на двух последних маршрутах 4 и 103, прерванное с 23 марта 2021 года в связи с проведением дорожных работ, пока не будет возобновлено. Об этом публично заявила городская администрация, это же подтверждает и ГМУ. В ближайшее время, после завершения строительных работ системы БРТ «Метробус», следует рассмотреть возможность повторного ввода в эксплуатацию. Это произойдет не раньше конца лета 2024 года. Четырем из оставшихся в эксплуатации троллейбусов к тому времени исполнится 40 лет. Отдельные участки контактной сети в центре будут демонтированы в ходе строительных работ.

Если троллейбусы вернутся на некоторые маршруты, в администрации говорят, в том числе, о возможности проведения исторической операции для туристов. Насколько это будет реально, еще предстоит выяснить."

Троллейбус в Коимбре всё?((

А другие фото из города никак не посмотреть?

Закоптился, блин.

У него дизель есть, что так закоптился?

Thank you for you info and also for the praise, Alex.
Its a pity that a lot of cities prefers e-buses in the end, instead of troleybuses, in that case instead of trams which is really unbelievable.
Honestly saying, I am surprised that trolleybuses are still in service in Coimbra and I am glad for the oppurnity to take some shots of them.

A fantastic photo, just like the others you posted today.
As far as Van Hool is concerned, this is more than likely about the 'Exquicity' type.
Here in Flanders (and Vilvoorde to be precise) a new tram line was promised with new trams (of course...). It officially became a 'tram-bus' and that is a normal (hybrid) bus, which was then called 'tram-bus' for the occasion.
The type is also available as trolleybus and in Linz I photographed them recently ( https://transphoto.org/photo/1380399/ ).
But everything indicates that Coimbra has ordered hybrids and highlights the electrical aspect. But they will more than likely be ordinary buses, with both the manufacturer and the operator giving them a special name and, if necessary, claiming that they are trolleybuses, but without the trolleys...

Very sadly:(

Petr,
I don't see any reliable sources about that tender.
There's this tender here:
https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE...tabId=0
which was won by BYD for electric buses, but I see nothing for trolley buses.
These electricb uses will be used on the Metro Mondego BRT line.

On another note, Coimbra also bought a bunch of electric minibuses for the city center.

I thought that Coimbra purchased 6 new VanHoll trolleybuses with alternative engine. Some of them should be delivered until the end of year. Its not true eventually it was cancelled?

Thanks so much! I didn´t expect I will be a lucky person. I had 3 Salvador and Solaris in service, particularly 2 Salvador on line 103 and the rest on 4. Each of these routes were operated only by one bus.
In the end, thanks for the praise!
Anyway I have more shots so I will publish them also).

The policy is to get more electric buses.

In 2018, 5 trolley buses came back to the streets, running on the 2 trolley bus equipped lines. No further expansion is planned and there are no plans to buy new trolley buses.

Unless something changes, it looks like the system will slowly die over time and trolley buses will be replaced by electric ones.

There are no immediate plans to repair/upgrade wires.

Also it is very unusual, that city has the only trolleybus network in Portugal, but doesn’t invest in development and restoration of trolleybus technology and buy new electric buses, some of them operated in ex-trolleybus routes. I believe it should be more economical to renew trolleybus wires and buy new trolleybuses firstly and than buy electric buses.

What do you think about it? And have you any information about public transport policy in Coimbra? Maybe they want to replace trolleybuses with electric buses, like it was in Mendoza?

Congratulations, you a very lucky. A working trolleybus in Coimbra is a rarity. I had never gotten lucky, nor did many of other visitors I know.

And a great photo, as always.

Someone is still traveling...

Trolleybuses operating in revenue service in Coimbra is a rare catch. Not too many travelers get lucky, usually the system is not operated due to unknown and unpredictable reasons.

Thanks for the photo!

Работает

> начало 2018 троллейбусы не работают

Сегодня видел, работают!

В комментариях к предыдущим фото была инфа, что контактная сеть снята везде, кроме участка от депо до вокзала "Коимбра А". Сейчас, кроме участка Депо-Вокзал, провода висят по ул.Магеллана - мэрия - рынок - университетская горка - акведук и далее к вокзалу. Это где прогуливался и что видел, возможно где-то еще есть. Состояние контактной сети - провисающее :)

Троллейбус, видимо, воспринимается как аттракцион, в городе полно автобусных маршрутов. Автобусы живут в троллейбусном парке :)
