7 september 2018 - Kiev, Ukraine - Darnitska tramway depot: This snow clearing machine lives on the east side tramway system in Kiev city and is shown here parked in part of the old Darnitska depot. There were several other treasures here, including a line of unusual vehicles in the adjacent track work depot, but a `jobsworth` security guard would not allow me anywhere near them, so they will have to wait until another time.

15 september 2018 - Kiev, Ukraine - Podilske tramway depot: The standee windows of this ex-passenger tram reveal it to be an MTV-82 class vehicle of around 1950 - now quite a rare survivor. What it`s now used for is a mystery - perhaps the GRU use it to travel round the tramway network in secret? Anyway, it looks very much like a disguised American PCC car in this condition.

15 september 2018 - Kiev, Ukraine - Podilske tram depot: The last of five snow clearing trams at the Podilske depot is this snow broom #C-11, which has slightly different bodywork than the others already shown. All these vehicles are of two or three standard types seen thoughout the former Soviet Union.
Снігоочисник КЗЕТ #С-5
15 september 2018 - Kiev, Ukraine - Podilske tram depot: This vehicle is configured as a snow broom to sweep light snow from the tracks, but can be quickly fitted with a plough if conditions warrant.

15 september 2018 - Kiev, Ukraine - Podilske tram depot: A quick look at the various snow clearing trams at the Podilske depot which serves the west bank of the Kiev network. As the lines here are nearly all in the street, quite a large fleet is used to keep the tracks clear during the winter.
Tatra T3SU #ПМ-8
15 september 2018 - Kiev, Ukraine - Podilske depot: A useful-looking open truck on a tram chassis, either converted from a passenger vehicle or originally built for this purpose. Although the Kiev tramways has a central workshop, likely to be involved in distributing such things as wheels to each of its depots, this is on the `wrong` side of the river, so perhaps most fetching and carrying is done by motor truck.

15 september 2018 - Kiev, Ukraine - Podilske depot: This is where my British computer keyboard lets me down! The fleet number is obviously different in Cyrillic and I`m not sure of the function of this tram - maybe some kind of hopper to carry bulk material for track works?

15 september 2018 - Kiev, Ukraine - Podilske tram depot: Fleet number C-11 is a standard Soviet-type snow clearing vehicle, fitted in this case with a plough. Much of the track on the Kiev system is laid in the street, apart from a couple of lines on this side of the system, one which has recently been reconstructed as a fast, fully-segregated route and the other, which wanders for a very long distance into a forest to the north of the city.

15 september 2018 - Kiev, Ukraine - Podilske tram depot: A large system, now fallen on hard times and mostly neglected, the Kiev tramways are now divided into two separate zones east and west of the Dnieper river. What investment there is has taken place on the west bank, where new trams are operating on rebuilt tracks. As would be expected, there were once many works trams around the system supporting operations and many remain, although they look as though they are no longer used to any extent. Here are some photos of ones which remain, all in the yard of a depot just to the north of the city centre. This first one is a general carrier truck and is still well used.
71-154М #450
15 september 2018 - Kiev, Ukraine: Another one-off vehicle standing in the fast tram depot yard is this one from Pragiomex (so presumably mostly Tatra T3 components underneath the fancy new body shell). From the photos taken of this tram, it seems to be an enthusiasts` `pet`.

15 september 2018 - Kiev, Ukraine: This fairly new articulated tram was standing in the yard of the depot at the far end of the fast tram routes in Kiev. From its appearance and the fact that I didn`t see another one like it, I think it must be a prototype from Belkommunmash?

15 september 2018 - Kiev, Ukraine: In order to equip the newly-designated fast lines of the Kiev tramways, a large fleet of Fokstrot class GT6 trams has recently been obtained from PESA in Poland, an interesting purchase, allowing this company to break into the Russian market for the first time.
Електрон T5B64 #805
15 september 2018 - Kiev, Ukraine: It isn`t hard to see where the money is being spent on the Kiev tramway system - routes 1,2 and 3 have recently been upgraded into a network of entirely private-right-of-way fast lines from the main railway station into the south west suburbs of the city, complete with high platform stops and fencing throughout to allow higher speeds. To re-equip these lines, new trams are being purchased, including these attractive low-floor examples.
T3UA-3 #602
9 september 2018 - Kiev, Ukraine: A definite candidate for today`s "Spot the Tatra T3" competition is this semi-low floor car, one of a small series built in the local tramway workshops and seen here at the end of Line 22 on the less-favoured left bank system. I guess that most money is going in to the lines on the opposite bank and that this group of lines will eventually close.
K3R-N #405
9 september 2018 - Kiev, Ukraine: If you cut open this two-rooms-and-a-bath tram, I`m sure you would find a couple of Tatra T3SUCs peeping out - did Pragiomec have a hand in its construction, I wonder? Anyway, it is one of a small series working on the less-favoured left bank of the city tramways, seen here at the end of Route 29, one which runs along a secret alley between more important streets and which can only be known to local residents. A stranger passing by within 100 metres would never even know the line was there.

Tatra T3SUCS #5656
9 september 2018 - Kiev, Ukraine: The once-extensive tramway in Kiev, the capital city of Ukraine. is now split between the two banks of the River Dneiper and is no longer a main form of transport in this large and sprawling city. There is a marked contrast between the two sides of the network - on the left bank there seems to be little new investment and the trams run along poor tracks and, as here on Route 29, in unmade back streets away from large centres of population. Very few new trams run here and those which do are either recent second-hand purchases from Praha, as seen here, or are T3 variants which have been hacked around to articulate them or form central low-floor sections.
