There is some new stuff in #Helsinki trams!
The old Valmet trams are still running, sometimes. I rode on one today! It was running as a line H (Historic?).
There were some tweaks to the network as every year, resulting in better connections.
The new Artic XL trams are running now! They follow the white/turquoise color scheme of the fast tram (line 15) instead of the classic green/gold though. They can go in both directions and have doors on both sides. The seats are yellow leather. They are nice and comfortable trams, but the windows are not aligned with the seats.
In the unified HSL color scheme, vehicles are white plus an accent color: blue (bus), orange (trunk bus line), turquoise (tram) or purple (commuter train).
