8 september 2014 - Remiza/Tramway Depot Sarajevo. Another second-hand purchase (or more likely a gift?) to Sarajevo after the damaging civil was came from Wien, who have spent the last few years replacing all their huge fleet of Lohner GT6 cars with new ULF trams. Here are two of the large batch that came here, perhaps on the principle that `if they`re free, we`ll take all of them`. However, it was soon discovered that the tyres were too narrow or worn to be used safely, so only a very small number ran in service in Sarajevo and the rest were just dumped here at the depot.

@Tatus Tatus - railway wheels have tyres fitted, which can be replaced as they wear thin. The width of each tyre is chosen to match the rail profile, which varies quite a lot from system to system - tram rails for street running are one shape, but rails for open tracks (like most of Sarajevo) are entirely different. The wrong sort of tyre might lead to many derailments.
