Ghent PCC

This small series is currently an outlier on the Antwerp tram network as they are the only two-way trams. Previously, this tram ran in Ghent but seven came to Antwerp in 2018 to do service on tramline 12, where the turning loop at the Sportpaleis terminus was taken out of service due to the Oosterweel works. Like the Antwerp PCCs, this tram was built at La Brugeoise et Nivelles, but it is a lot younger: it entered service in 1971. The design also differs from the Antwerp PCCs in a number of ways - there is no middle door, for example. The tram was modernised in the 2000s.
