| These low-floor Tatra T3R.PLFs have been in service for about as long as Ive been in Prague, but until this year they were relatively rare. Now theyre very common, being yet another attempt by DPP to get more out of the old T3 platform even as new Skoda 14t trams are being delivered. The T3Ms are also being upgraded in less radical ways, to the R.3 standard, and many of the RLFs are coupled to them as trailing units. The paint scheme on the RLFs is also unique, other than for the T3R.3s that end up as trailing units, of course. The irony is that its one of the more retro schemes on the system, in spite of the red and cream scheme used on the other T3s dating to the 1910s, long before T3s were even developed! |
