After midnight, in the silence of the night, the new Alstom Citadis appears on the roads of Piraeus!
But this wasn't a normal trial run! The point of the test was to see how well the new units can handle pushing and pulling a broken down tram on the steepest part of the network (8%!!). The results were very good, as it had no problem at all with the task! As a bonus the technicians decided to try having the Sirio pull the Citadis, and that went well too!
A big thank you to all the technicians that worked so late at night (or should I say early in the morning?) to make this test possible! It's one of the final tests of both the new tram and the Piraeus extension which is expected to start operation in the month of November 2021.
