Stuttgart, Germany : 27th-28th March, 1996
Stuttgart is progressively transforming its metre-gauge tramway into a standard gauge light rail system. This has led to dual-gauge track being laid on many of the upgraded alignments pending full conversion . Some of the recent developments highlighted are the upgraded route to Gerlingen including a short stretch of tunnel in Feuerbach, the tunnel alongside the Weinsteige in the hills overlooking the city centre, the tunnel between Herderplatz and Lindpaintner Strasse, providing a direct link to Botnang, and the new terminus at Hedelfingen.

Also shown are the routes to Vogelsang, Fellbach, Mohringen and Heumaden, plus the Rack Railway to Degerloch at its Marienplatz terminus.
