Basel tram lines
This article gives an overview of the lines of the Basel tram network . This was created from 1895 by Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.). Various suburban lines were built by private railway companies such as Birseckbahn AG (BEB), Birsigthalbahn AG (BTB), Trambahn Basel-Aesch AG (TBA) and Basellandschaftliche Ueberlandbahn (BUeB). Today the Basler tram network is operated by Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe (BVB) and Baselland Transport AG (BLT). The vehicles of the two companies are painted differently. BVB's in green and BLT's in yellow / red.
Line 1 (BVB)
Line 1 : (old) Badischer Bahnhof - Claraplatz - Mittlere Brücke - Eisengasse - Marktplatz - Gerbergasse - Barfüsserplatz - Aeschenplatz - Basler Centralbahnhof
In 1895 the first tram drove from Badischer Bahnhof (today Messeplatz) over the Mittlere Brücke through the city center to Centralbahnplatz . This is the original line of the Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.), the later Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe (BVB).
history
On May 6, 1895, the Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.) opened their first tram line. They connected the Basel railway stations of the Grand Ducal Baden State Railways (BadStB), the Badische Bahnhof and that of the Swiss Central Railway (SCB), the Basler Centralbahnhof. The tram line ran from the old Baden train station over Claraplatz, crossed the Rhine over the Mittlere Brücke and went through the city center to Centralbahnplatz. Already on September 10, 1903, the extended route via Spalenring to Missionsstrasse could be used. A year later to Kannenfeldplatz. Between 1924 and 1934, the 1er traveled the route, which was again extended in 1913, via the St. Johann freight station to Lysbüchel.
After the Dreirosenbrücke was opened to traffic in 1934, the tracks from Voltastrasse to Lysbüchel were demolished. The tracks were then laid via Voltastrasse to Voltaplatz over the Dreirosenbrücke to the sample fair.
In the summer of 1963, the tram tracks that had passed in front of the St. Johann freight station since 1913 had to be relocated to Gasstrasse due to the construction of the Lucerne Ring Viaduct.
Since the network of tram lines has changed again and again through extensions and modifications since the early days to modern times, the routes have often been adapted. This affected almost all lines.
The ring line 1/4
The ring line 1 : sample fair - Dreirosenbrücke - Kannenfeldplatz - SBB train station - market square - sample fair
A milestone in the development of Line 1 is the launch of Line 1/4 in 1972. Line 1 ran as a ring line from the Mustermesse (today Messeplatz) via Dreirosenbrücke - Voltaplatz - Gasstrasse - Kannenfeldplatz - Burgfelderplatz - Brausebad - SBB train station - Aeschenplatz - Bankverein - Barfüsserplatz - Marktplatz - Schifflände - Claraplatz back to the sample fair. In the opposite direction it operated as line 4 until June 2, 1984. As a result of the renovation of the Dorenbach Viaduct, another change was made in the line network in 1985.
From 1985
Line 8 replaced Line 1/4 between the shipyard and the exhibition center. In 1997, the station was Gasstrasse on Gas Street / St. Johann station renamed. In 2001, line 1 in the city center was closed. It only operated as an operational line to relieve the load on Line 2 from the SBB train station via Wettsteinbrücke to the Eglisee. On October 14, 2002, line 1/4 between Dreirosenbrücke and Messeplatz was replaced by line 14 and also linked to it.
From 2002
Since October 14, 2002 the 1er has been running on the Dreirosenbrücke - Novartis Campus - Voltaplatz - Gasstrasse / St. Johann station - Kannenfeldplatz - Burgfelderplatz - Hegenheimerstrasse - Birmannsgasse - Brausebad - Schützenstrasse - Bachletten Zoo - Markthalle - SBB station (- Kirschgarten - Bank Association - Art Museum - Wettsteinplatz - Messeplatz - Trade School - Badischer Bahnhof). The extension to Badischer Bahnhof is currently not planned until the end of 2020 due to the construction of the Parking Art Museum.
Since 2008
Between 2004 and 2008, in the course of the last construction phase, the north tangent tracks were laid from Voltaplatz through Voltastrasse to the newly built Vogesenplatz. There is the new (old) station St. Johann station . On a new route through Entenweidstrasse, the 1/4 ride reaches Kannenfeldplatz. The new section has been in operation since December 11, 2008. The tracks from Voltaplatz through Gasstrasse to Entenweidstrasse have been removed.
Rolling stock
The first Ce-2/2 motor cars started running in 1895. The vehicles only had an engine of 15 hp. They soon proved to be too weak and were therefore converted into trailers from 1903 to 1908. The Ce 2/2 delivered from 1900 had two engines with 20 HP each. The motor vehicle inverted with closed trailers C 2 , or with the popular C 2 - summer cart . The modern Be 4/4 large-capacity four-axle motor vehicles were delivered from 1948 . They pulled large-capacity two-axle trailers B 2 . The 1970s brought the articulated motor vehicle Be 4/6 from Düwag , the 80s the new generation of the Be 4/4, the 90s the Be 4 / 6S with sedan chair and from 2000 the Be 6/8 Combino. As a special feature, Be 8/8 operated by the Bern Municipal Transport Authority (SVB) with the B 4 S, four-axle trailer with sedan chair, operated by the Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe (BVB).

Line 2 (BVB)
Line 2 : Centralbahnhof - Wettsteinbrücke - Badischer Bahnhof
Line 2 was opened as the second line of the Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.) in 1897 and ran from Centralbahnplatz via Elisabethenstrasse - Handelsbank - Wettsteinbrücke - Riehenring to the old Badischer Bahnhof .
history
On April 14, 1897, the Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.) opened their second tram line. This should connect the two Basel train stations - that of the Swiss Central Railway (SCB), the Basler Centralbahnhof and that of the Grand Ducal Baden State Railways (BadStB), the Badischer Bahnhof - as directly as possible. Since the city center was not driven through, the travel time was reduced considerably. A six-minute timetable has been offered since the line opened. The route ran from Centralbahnplatz - St. Elisabethenanlage - Klosterberg - Handelsbank - Rittergasse over the Wettstein Bridge - Rheinweg - Alemannengasse - Wettsteinplatz to the Badischer Bahnhof .
In 1902 the old central station of the Swiss Central Railway SCB was demolished. From 1902 to 1907, line 2 was rerouted from the St. Elisabethenanlage stop via Steinenthorstrasse - Margarethenbrücke - Höhenweg - Margarethenstrasse - Frobenstrasse - Gempenstrasse to the temporary station. After the completion of the new Basel SBB station for the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) founded in 1902 , the 2-series returned to Centralbahnplatz on June 24, 1907. At the same time, line 2 was extended via the shower bath - Missionsstrasse to Kannenfeldplatz.
From September 14, 1913, line 2 was extended again; from Kannenfeldplatz to Lysbüchel and at the other end of the line from the "old" Basel Badischer Bahnhof to - on September 13th - the new Basel Badischer Bahnhof II station . The Basel Sample Fair has moved to the location of the old station .
The ring line 2
Ring line 2 : Badischer Bahnhof - Wettsteinbrücke - SBB train station - Spalentor - Johanniterbrücke - Badischer Bahnhof
After a few changes in the line network, the 2 series became a ring line in 1924. This led from the Badischer Bahnhof via Wettsteinplatz - Wettsteinbrücke - Handelsbank to the SBB railway station and then via Schützenhaus past the Spalentor over the Johanniterbrücke and via Feldbergstrasse - Riehenring back to the Badischer Bahnhof. In 1966 the Spalentor - Johanniterbrücke tram tracks were removed and the 2er was given a new route.
From 1966
New line 2 : SBB train station - Wettsteinbrücke - Badischer Bahnhof - Eglisee
Line 2 ran from the SBB train station (stop: Centralbahnplatz) via Elisabethenstrasse - Bankverein - Kunstmuseum over the Wettstein Bridge and past the Badischer Bahnhof to the Eglisee . From 1979, individual courses from the Eglisee to the Riehen border were extended.
From 1986
New line 2 Binningen Kronenplatz - Eglisee (- Riehen Dorf )
In 1986, line 2 replaced line 7 between the SBB train station and Binningen, which no longer existed. Now the route from Binningen was Kronenplatz - Hohle Gasse - Dorenbach Zoo - Margarethen - IWB - Markthalle - SBB train station - Kirschgarten - Bankverein - Art Museum - Wettsteinbrücke - Wettsteinplatz - Messeplatz - trade school - Badischer Bahnhof - Hirzbrunnen - Eglisee (- Habermatten - Niederholz - Burgstrasse - Pfaffenloh - Bettingerstrasse - Riehen Dorf ). Only individual courses go to Riehen Dorf.
Rolling stock
In addition to the old Ce 2/2 motor vehicles and the C 2 trailers with sliding doors and standing platforms, the three so-called “Tessinerdrämmli” Ce 2/4 with the wagon numbers 251, 252 and 253 were used as rolling stock . These were relatively small one-room motor vehicles that couldn't carry trailers. Car 252 once had a spectacular accident in the bend from Badischer Bahnhof into Schönaustrasse, when it tipped off the rails while cornering too quickly and fell on the right side. In the 1950s, the Be 4/4 large-capacity motorcars came with matching trailers. At the beginning of the 1970s the articulated motor vehicles Be 4/6 Düwag , from 1986 the new generation Be 4/4 and from 1990 the Be 4/6 (which were converted to Be 4 / 6S «sedan chair» in 1998) could be found.

Line 3 (BVB)
Line 3 : Gare de Saint-Louis - Burgfelderhof - Birsfelden Hard
Tram line 3 was opened in 1897 as the third tram line of the Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.) between Burgfelderplatz in Basel and Schulstrasse in Birsfelden .
Line 3 is the only tram line that runs on Kohlenberg , which has a gradient of up to 7.99%.
history
On May 10, 1897, Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B., renamed Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe BVB on January 1, 1946 ) opened their third tram line. It led from Missionsstrasse (today Burgfelderplatz) via Spalentor - Barfüsserplatz - Aeschenplatz - Breite to Schulstrasse in Birsfelden.
As a result of the expansion of the city of Basel, the route was extended several times, for example on June 12, 1906 from Missionsstrasse to Burgfelderstrasse, on March 15, 1930 to the Burgfelden border and on May 22, 1932 from Schulstrasse to Birsfelden Hard.
From 1932
Of the eleven current tram lines, line 3 has undergone the fewest changes. The route has not been changed since May 22, 1932. It leads from the terminus Burgfelden Grenz - Luzernerring - Felix Platter-Spital - Strassburgerallee - Burgfelderplatz - Pilgerstrasse - Spalentor - University - Music Academy - Barfüsserplatz - Bankverein - Aeschenplatz - Hardstrasse - St. Alban-Tor - Waldenburgerstrasse - Breite - Bären - Schulstrasse - Salinenstrasse to End station Birsfelden Hard.
In the early 1950s, a switch to bus operation was considered, but wisely not implemented.
Extension to Saint-Louis
On November 23, 2015, with the groundbreaking on the Swiss side, work began on extending Line 3 via Burgfelden to Saint-Louis station. This new route was put into operation on December 9, 2017, with the Swiss section with the new turning loop at the national border being used since July 31, 2017.
Rolling stock
Because of the coal mountain with its enormous incline, new Ce 2/2 motor vehicles with a more powerful drive had to be purchased in 1897. The "Birsfelderwagen" had two engines with 22 hp each. They were allowed to travel with a two-axle trailer. From 1951 the new Be 4/4 large-capacity motorcars with C 2 and from 1962 with B 4 trailers were used. From 1998 to 2017 all existing rolling stock operated from the Be 4/4, Be 4/6, Be 4 / 6S to the Combinos and Flexitys. Since the opening of the French section, only flexity trams have been used.

Line 6 (BVB)
Line 6 : Allschwil - Riehen border
In 1905 Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.) launched a line 6 to the suburb of Allschwil . Since the line network was still being developed and expanded, line 6 did not always travel the same route.
history
On July 1, 1905, the Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.) was able to put the Barfüsserplatz - Allschwil route into operation, on line 6. This replaced the stagecoach that ran on this route.
Between May 1, 1911 and July 30, 1914, the route to Hüningen Bahnhof, which was opened on December 17, 1910, was used by line 6. After Hüningen regularly frequented tram trains of different lines, as St. B. and from 1947 BVB until 1961. interruptions there was during the First and Second World Wars.
From December 1, 1914 to December 28, 1925, the 6 series ran from Allschwil to the Riehen border.
From November 16, 1919, the city of Lörrach also had a number 6 tram operated. The staff and the vehicles, two-way motor vehicles Ce 2/2, were provided by Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.). However, driving was only in the urban area of Lörrach, from the train station via Marktplatz - Baumgartnerstrasse - Imbachstrasse - Stetten - Schlageterstrasse almost to the border. Anyone wishing to go to Basel had to cross the border on foot and take line 6 of the B. St. B., which was extended to the Riehen border. The border was not opened until December 28, 1925. Line 6 of the B. St. B. from Allschwil to Lörrach train station was now able to commence continuous operation. When the Second World War broke out on September 1, 1939, the cross-border and Lörrach tram traffic was stopped again. From June 1, 1947, Lörrach resumed tram operation in the city area. Own staff, but again the well-known two-way motor vehicle Ce 2/2, now from BVB, was rented. Since a turning loop was never installed in Lörrach, continuous operation with the modern Be 4/4 of BVB could no longer be started. In 1967 the tram operation in Lörrach was stopped.
From 1932
From May 22, 1932 to November 27, 1960 there was a line connection between lines 6 and 9. The 6 series drove from Riehen to the Morgartenring, the 9 series from Allschwil to the Eglisee .
From 1960
Since 1960, line 6, on its long journey of 12.46 km, has been serving the entire route from Allschwil via Binningerstrasse - Gartenstrasse - Ziegelei - Church - Merkurstrasse - Lindenplatz - Morgartenring (with tram depot) - Allschwilerplatz - Brausebad - Schützenmattstrasse - Holbeinstrasse - Heuwaage - Theater - Barfüsserplatz - Marktplatz - Schifflände over the Mittlere Brücke - Rheingasse - Claraplatz - Clarastrasse - Messeplatz - Trade School - Badischer Bahnhof - Claraspital - Eglisee - Habermatten - Niederholz - Burgstrasse - Pfaffenloh - Bettingerstrasse - Riehen Dorf - Fondation Beyeler - Weilstrasse - Lörracherstrasse to the Riehen border. For a long time, line 6 was the only tram line that had both terminus outside the city.
Rolling stock
As on all lines, only the two-axle motorcars Ce 2/2 with their trailers C 2 could be found on the 6 Series for many years . The latest rolling stock was used on line 6 whenever possible. From 1949 on, it was mainly the new, modern large-capacity Be 4/4 with four-axle trailers that operated. From 1961 the first delivered Be-4/6 articulated motor vehicle, one of two SIG prototypes, was assigned to line 6. Until 1967 the line was completely equipped with Duewag articulated trolleys. From 1986 the new Be 4/4 “Cornichon”, from 1990 the Be 4/6 “Guggummere” and from 2004 the Be 4 / 6S “Sedan chair”. From 2001 onwards, the “Combinos” wanted to displace the “Düwags” and Be, which they almost succeeded in up to the “Combino disaster” in 2004. On December 22, 2006, the first Combino that had been redesigned by Siemens was transported back to Basel and in 2007 it was again put into regular service.
Line 8 (BVB)
Line 8 : Weil am Rhein - Neuweilerstrasse
Line number 8 was planned by Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.) for the route from Wiesenplatz to the Neubad district that was not yet built.
history
On July 5th to 9th, 1912 a gymnastics festival was held on the Schützenmatte. For these five days, line 8 was created as a festival feeder from Wiesenplatz via Claraplatz over the Mittlere Brücke - Marktplatz - Barfüsserplatz - Handelsbank - Aeschenplatz - SBB train station to Schützenmatte.
Only three months later, the number 8 was used again. Between October 1, 1912 and September 13, 1913, it was used again from Wiesenplatz via Claraplatz over the Mittlere Brücke - Marktplatz - Barfüsserplatz - Handelsbank - Aeschenplatz to the SBB train station.
Between September 14, 1913 and July 30, 1926, line 8 was used for various services, always from the Wiesenplatz depot, via Claraplatz over the Mittlere Brücke - Marktplatz - Barfüsserplatz - Theater - Heuwaage - Innere Margarethenstrasse - Schützenmatte to Missionsstrasse or Brausebad.
Between July 31, 1926 to May 21, 1932 from Kleinhüningen - Wiesenplatz - Claraplatz - Mittlere Brücke - Marktplatz - Barfüsserplatz - Theater - Heuwaage - Inner Margarethenstrasse - Schützenmatte to Neuweilerstrasse.
May 22, 1932 to May 6, 1945 from Kleinhüningen - Wiesenplatz - Claraplatz - Mittlere Brücke - Marktplatz - Barfüsserplatz - Handelsbank - Aeschenplatz - SBB railway station - Schützenmatte - Neuweilerstrasse.
From May 7, 1945 to December 31, 1984, there was no longer an official line 8. The number 8 was only used to designate a few trams that ran from Neuweilerstrasse to the SBB station.
From 1985
Since January 3, 1985, after almost 40 years, number 8 trams have been running again. Number 18 has been repealed. The route of the new line 8 was from the Mustermesse - Marktplatz - Aeschenplatz - SBB train station to Neuweilerstrasse.
From 1998
In 1998 the 8 series exchanged its use with the 14 series. Since June 27, 1998, line 8 has been running on the almost unchanged route from (Wiesenplatz) - Kleinhüningen - Inselstrasse - Ciba - Dreirosenbrücke - Bläsiring - Feldbergstrasse - Kaserne - Claraplatz - Rheingasse over the Mittlere Brücke - Schifflände - Marktplatz - Barfüsserplatz - Bankverein - Aeschenplatz - SBB train station - Market hall - Bachletten Zoo - Schützenhaus - Bundesplatz - Bernerring - Laupenring - Neubad - Im Langen Loh - Neuweilerstrasse.
Line 8 runs through densely populated urban areas, right through the city center and business district. Thanks to this, it has developed into the most profitable tram line operated by BVB.
Since 2014
Line 8 was extended via Weil - Friedlingen to Weil am Rhein station and went into operation on December 14, 2014 when the timetable changed. This has been the first cross-border tram line not only for BVB but in Europe for 47 years. The turning loop is at Europaplatz. The 2.8 km long new line, including two newly built bridges, cost 104 million francs. At the beginning of 2008, the financing partners agreed that 77% would be taken over by the Swiss state and the canton of Basel-Stadt. The rest was financed by BVB, the state of Baden-Württemberg and the city of Weil am Rhein , among others .
The German severely handicapped free travel applies from Weil to Claraplatz .
Rolling stock
As on all lines, the Ce 2/2 two-axle motorcars with their C 2 trailers were in use on the 8 Series for many years . In the 1950s, they were replaced by the Be 4/4 large-capacity motorcars with the appropriate trailers. At the beginning of the 1970s the articulated motor vehicle Be 4/6 Düwag followed , from 1986 the new generation Be 4/4 and from 1990 the Be 4/6, which were converted to Be 4 / 6S «sedan chair» in 1998. From 2000 to 2004 and from 2007 onwards, mainly Combino Be 6/8 trams have been used on BVB's most profitable route. The new Be 4/6 Flexity have also been in use since December 2014.

Line 10 (BLT)
Line 10 : Dornach train station - Aeschenplatz - Rodersdorf
With a length of almost 26 km, BLT line 10 is the longest tram line in Basel and one of the longest tram lines in Europe. In addition, it travels - as an international rarity - two countries (Switzerland and France) and three Swiss cantons : Basel-Stadt , Basel-Landschaft and Solothurn . It connects the Solothurn Dornach via Birseck - Neuewelt / Grün 80 / BL with the city of Basel and runs via Leimental and the Leymen train station ( France ) to Rodersdorf - again in the Canton of Solothurn . This results in a travel time of around 62 minutes.
history
On October 6th, 1902 the Birseckbahn-Gesellschaft (BEB) opened the meter-gauge railway line Basel - Dornach . The line was only a single lane for long stretches. It led from Aeschenplatz in Basel via Arlesheim BL to Dornachbrugg SO. From the opening day until December 31, 1915, operations were carried out on behalf of BEB by Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.) with four BEB-owned and additional motor vehicles from B. St. B. B. St. B. assigned the number 10 to the new line.
From January 1, 1916, the Birseckbahn (BEB) took over the management and drove with its own additionally purchased rolling stock until December 31, 1974. During this time, the vehicles with the head sign "Dornach" or "BEB" operated. The small private railway always suffered from a financial shortage. There was a lack of funds for track work and rolling stock that had long been necessary. Around 1957 there was even a threat of switching to bus operation. Thanks to great resistance from the people of Dornach and Arlesheim, it was possible to obtain federal funds for the fundamental renovation of the railway. In 1970, new articulated motor vehicles Be 4/6 from Schindler were ordered and the track systems were practically rebuilt.
On December 20, 1974, the private suburban railway companies, Birseckbahn AG (BEB), Birsigthalbahn AG (BTB), Trambahn Basel-Aesch AG (TBA) and Basellandschaftliche Ueberlandbahn (BUeB) merged to form Baselland Transport AG (BLT) .
After the merger, the former BEB was given line number 10 again. Aeschenplatz remained the final stop.
In 1984 the Basel - Rodersdorf line of the Birsigthalbahn (BTB), which opened in 1887, was converted to tram operation by the BLT. In 1986 it was connected to the urban tram network. The terminus at the time on the Basel Heuwaage was given a track connection to the line: Innere Margarethenstrasse - Heuwaage - Steinentorstrasse. At the Theaterstrasse a connection with the Steinenberg in the direction of the bank association was created. On October 25, 1986, line 10 was able to run for the first time from Dornach via Aeschenplatz via Theaterbogen - Heuwaage to Rodersdorf .
From 1986
Line 10 has been the longest (international) tram line in Europe since October 25, 1986, as it runs between Flüh and Rodersdorf bei Leymen via French territory. The 26 km long route has 40 stations: Start in Birseck from Dornach train station via Stollenrain - Arlesheim Dorf - Im Lee - Baselstrasse - Brown Boveri - Münchenstein Dorf - Elektra Birseck - Hofmatt - Zollweiden - Birseckstrasse - Neuewelt - Dreispitz - M Parc - Münchensteinerstrasse - Peter Merian - SBB train station - Aeschenplatz - Bankverein - Theater - Heuwaage - Zoo - Dorenbach - Binningen Oberdorf - Binningen - Bottminger Mühle - Batteriestrasse - Bottmingen - Stallen - Oberwil - Hüslimatt - Therwil - Känelmatt - Ettingen - Sonnenrain - Witterswil - Bättwil - Flüh and Leymen (France) to Rodersdorf.
There is a BLT tram depot and a BVB tram depot in the Dreispitz industrial zone . The tram tracks, from Neuewelt to Münchensteinerstrasse, are parallel to the Delémont - Basel railway line. The Münchensteinerbrücke leads the tram lines and road traffic over the apron of the SBB train station . Lines 10 and 11 of BLT cross line 15 of BVB. Since summer 2001, the BLT lines have branched off to the left on the bridge. A newly constructed route leads, partly through the SBB station concourse, directly to the Centralbahnplatz.
Innovations by tram operation
As a result of the switch from rail to tram operation, a tram depot was built in the Hüslimatt near Oberwil. The route between the Hüslimatt and Rodersdorf is an overland railway. The vehicles must have additional, appropriate rail equipment. The line is equipped with a section block. The trams need a horn for overland operation. The route between Ettingen and Rodersdorf has remained single-track. Turning loops had to be set up at the Heuwaage and in Oberwil (at the depot), Ettingen, Flüh and Rodersdorf.
Rolling stock
From the opening of the company until 1921, various versions of the two-axle motor vehicle Ce 2/2, which were converted into three-axle vehicles Ce 2/3 by the SLM in Winterthur from 1934 , were put into service. In 1916, BEB received four-axle Ce 2/4 motor cars and four C 2 summer cars . Between 1915 and 1919, two-axle trailers C 2 were built by SWS . In order to improve the running characteristics, the BEB had these wagons also converted into three-axle C 3 trailers by the SLM from 1946 onwards . In 1964 the Düwag GT6 No. 435 of the Mannheim tram was used on the BEB as a test. However, no vehicles of this type were bought, but eight air-sprung articulated motor vehicles Be 4/6 from Schindler-Waggon AG Pratteln (SWP), some of which were traveling with adapted trailers C 3 from BEB or B 4 from BVB. In 1975 further Be 4/6 were ordered from SWP. From 1978 the new generation of articulated motor vehicles of the SWP Be 4/6 and from 1986 the Be 4 / 8S converted to articulated motor vehicles with litter were used. The new Be 6/10 “Tango” from Stadler Rail, which replaced the last former BEB vehicles until 2016, have been increasingly used since 2008. Since then, the Be 4/8 and the Be 4/6 have only been on this line as reserve vehicles from 1978–1981.

Line 11 (BLT)
Line 11 : St-Louis border - Aesch
Line 11 is a little over 14 km long and runs from Aesch via Reinach via Basel SBB station and the city center to the St-Louis border. This results in a travel time of approx. 43 minutes.
history
On December 7, 1907, the Basel-Aesch AG (TBA) tramway company opened the Basel - Aesch line . The TBA only owned the track systems it created from Ruchfeld to Aesch. In the Ruchfeld a connection with the existing tracks of the Birseckbahn (BEB) opened in 1902 was created. From the canton border of Basel-Stadt, the tracks were owned by Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.). Both railway companies, TBA and BEB, had their terminus on Aeschenplatz . The operation was ensured from the beginning by the Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.), from 1946 the Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe (BVB). They also provided the rolling stock and gave the new line the number 11. Due to the high number of passengers, there were no such long trams on any of the other lines. Up to four C 2 two-axle trailers were to be found behind a two-axle Ce 2/2 motor vehicle .
On December 20, 1974, the private suburban railway companies, Birseckbahn AG (BEB), Birsigthalbahn AG (BTB), Trambahn Basel-Aesch AG (TBA) and Basellandschaftliche Ueberlandbahn (BUeB) merged to form Baselland Transport AG (BLT). Even after the merger, line 11 was still operated by BVB.
On September 17, 1994, line 11 was extended to the St-Louis border. It freed the short trams on line 15, which offered too little space, from this task.
From 1995
Since January 1, 1995, Baselland Transport AG (BLT) has taken over the management of line 11 with its own vehicles. Now the BLT operates for BVB via the Schifflände to the St-Louis border. On June 30, 2001, the new track connection from the Münchensteinerbrücke, through the concourse of the SBB station , directly to the Centralbahnplatz was put into operation.

Rolling stock
From the opening on December 7, 1907, the rolling stock was provided by B. St. B., from January 1, 1947 by BVB and from January 1, 1995 by BLT. From 1907 onwards, the Ce 2/2 two-axle motor vehicle operated with up to four C 2 or C 3 trailers. Vehicles that were available as single copies were used on this overland route. This began with the Be 4/4 motor vehicle delivered by SIG in 1915 with a central entry and the identical B 4 trailer . In 1930 there was again a single copy, a Ce 2/3 from SIG, with a matching C 3 trailer. The next one came in 1931 from SWS , a Ce 2/2 with a central entry and a trailer. In 1935 there was still a one-off from SWS, a Ce 2/3, with a matching trailer. From 1968, the modern Be 4/4 open-plan cars were introduced, also with B 4 open-plan trailers . From 1972 onwards, the old Ce 2/2 motor vehicles were replaced by the air-sprung articulated motor vehicles Be 4/6 from Düwag . BLT vehicles were used on line 11 from 1995. The SWP Be 4 / 8S «sedan chair» is the main driving force. SWP Be 4/6 or the Be 4/6 of the former BEB are used as trailers.
Line 14 (BVB)
Line 14 : Pratteln - Aeschenplatz - Dreirosenbrücke
The tram line 14 of the Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.) served the route between Aeschenplatz in Basel and Pratteln, which was opened in 1922 by the Basellandschaftliche Ueberlandbahn (BUeB) .
history
Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.) has been running since 1918 with line 14 from Burgfelderplatz via Brausebad - Centralbahnplatz - Aeschenplatz - Zeughaus to St. Jakob on the Basel canton border. The double-track line ended in a turning loop.
On October 22, 1922, the Basellandschaftliche Ueberlandbahn (BUeB) opened the line (Aeschenplatz) - St. Jakob - Muttenz, with the BUeB laying its own tracks from the turning loop in St. Jakob. At the eastern exit of the village in Muttenz, the “Wartenberg” loop was created. On October 22, 1922, the BUeB was able to open the initially single-lane extension to Pratteln. Pratteln Dorf was also provided with a turning loop. Since the beginning, operations from Basel to Muttenz and Pratteln have been run on behalf of BUeB by and with rolling stock from Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.), and from 1947 by BVB .
On December 20, 1974, the private suburban railway companies, Birseckbahn AG (BEB), Birsigthalbahn AG (BTB), Trambahn Basel-Aesch AG (TBA) and Basellandschaftliche Ueberlandbahn (BUeB) merged to form Baselland Transport AG (BLT). As a result, the suburban line St. Jakob - Muttenz - Pratteln was transferred to the newly founded company. However, the operation of the line remained, now as an order from BLT, with the successor company of Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.), Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe BVB. The vehicles used are also from BVB. The route was listed in the official timetable as BLT line 14 , Aeschenplatz - Pratteln.
From 1921, line 12 Wiesenplatz - Muttenz and from 1932 line 22 Schifflände (from 1972 Kleinhüningen) - Schänzli operated as operational lines. Due to the increasing number of passengers to Pratteln, the Muttenz - Pratteln timetable was condensed in 1978, and both lines were discontinued.
From 1922 to 1932 and 1972 to 1998 line 14 served Wiesenplatz with the tram depot of the same name. This could be the reason why a restaurant there is called Depot 14 .
The final stops in Basel kept changing. The 14er drove from Pratteln to Wiesenplatz between 1922 and 1932, to the sample fair from 1932 to 1939, to the Schifflände from 1939 to 1972 and to Kleinhüningen from 1972 to 1998.
From 1998
On June 27, 1998, the 14er swapped its use with tram line 8 and from then on ended at Messeplatz. The line was 11.5 km long and ran from Pratteln via Muttenz and St. Jakob via Aeschenplatz - Bankverein - Barfüsserplatz - Marktplatz - Schifflände over the Mittlere Brücke - Rheingasse - Claraplatz to Messeplatz.
From 2001 onwards
The construction of the exhibition tower in 2001 meant that the turning loop on the exhibition grounds had to be torn down. Line 14 has therefore been extended to Dreirosenbrücke and continues from there as Line 1 to the SBB train station. At times the 1er runs along line 2 to Badischer Bahnhof. This extends the driving distance to 19.3 km.
Since June 30, 2001 the route of line 14 from Pratteln - Bahnhofstrasse - Gempenstrasse - Kästeli - Lachmatt - Rothausstrasse - Muttenz Dorf - Schützenstrasse - Zum Park - Käppeli - Freidorf - Schänzli - St. Jakob - Zeughaus - Karl Barth-Platz - Grellingerstrasse - Sevogelplatz - Hardstrasse - Aeschenplatz - Bankverein - Barfüsserplatz - Marktplatz - Schifflände over the Mittlere Brücke - Rheingasse - Claraplatz - Clarastrasse - Messeplatz - Riehenring - Musical Theater - Brombacherstrasse - Dreirosenbrücke .
Rolling stock
It was not until 1972 that the old two-axle Ce 2/2 motor vehicles and the C 2 trailers used were replaced by a newer generation of vehicles. Because of the length of tram lines 6 and 14, BVB used its Be 4/6 articulated motor vehicle Düwag with four-axle trailers mainly on these routes. Due to a lack of rolling stock in the mid-1980s, BVB received support from the BLT, so, as an exception, some yellow articulated motor cars that otherwise ran on lines 10 and 11 came to line 14.
As a result of the Combino crisis (Combinos were rarely used on Line 14) from 2004 to 2006, there was an acute shortage of rail vehicles in Basel. Discarded articulated motor vehicles Be 8/8 were loaned to BVB by the Bern Municipal Transport Authority (SVB). The transport to Basel was carried out by truck with low-loader trailers. The "Berner" were mainly used on lines 1 and 14.
Up to 2017, Be 4/4 (Cornichon) operated with two B 4s and Be 4 / 6S (sedan chairs) with B 4 , and Be 4/6 Düwag were also used in double traction until 2016. Since October 1, 2017, only Combinos and Flexitys have been running on route 1/14.

Line 15 (BVB)
Line 15 : Bruderholz - Bankverein - Messeplatz
In 1910 the Basel opened roads railways (B. St. B.) a tram line 15 the Basel city center by the then part of the German Empire Alsace lying Hüningen association.
history
On December 16, 1910, the Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.) began operating on the St. Johanns-Tor route to Hüningen. From Christmas Day, the connection was extended to Barfüsserplatz. This line was intended to make it easier for the vegetable women from Hüningen to access the Basel market square. On May 1, 1911, line 15 was attached to 6 and number 15 was canceled.
Only on July 1, 1915 was number 15 of B. St. B. reassigned a driving service. Until May 14, 1927 it served the route: Barfüsserplatz - Monument - Leimgrubenweg - Bruderholz (= Lerchenstrasse). Since there was no turning loop on the Bruderholz, the trailer had to be bypassed using a track change.
From 1927 to 1942 the 15er ran from the St-Louis border - Barfüsserplatz - Monument - Leimgrubenweg to the Bruderholz. The trailer was still being run around there.
Line 15 of the Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.), from 1947 of the Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe BVB, received its long-standing main route on May 7, 1945. Now it runs from St-Louis Grenz - Hüningerstrasse - Voltaplatz - Mülhauserstrasse - St. Johanns-Tor - Johanniterbrücke - University Hospital - Schifflände - Marktplatz - Barfüsserplatz - Bankverein - Aeschenplatz - Heiliggeistkirche - Tellplatz - Wolfschlucht to the Bruderholz .
When the new large-capacity one- way motor vehicles , the Be 4/4 , were used on line 15 across the Bruderholz in 1968 , the two lines 15 and 16 had to be linked. After changing the number, the journey is continued.
From 1994
Since only short trams can run over the Bruderholz and the number of passengers in the lower part of the route, from the city center to the St-Louis border, increased significantly, on September 17, 1994, line 15 on the route to St-Louis border was replaced by line 11 of the BLT replaced. Since then, the 15er has been running from the sample fair via Wettsteinbrücke - Aeschenplatz - Wolfschlucht to the Bruderholz.
From 2001 onwards
Since the exhibition tower was being built, the turning loop at the exhibition center had to be removed in 2001. Lines 1, 14 and 15 were affected. Since then, the 15 has only used the Wettstein Bridge in the direction of Messeplatz. In the opposite direction it runs through the city center over the Mittlere Brücke. Thus, the 15 has a small "ring line" at one end. His route is: Bruderholz - Airolostrasse - Studio Basel - Lerchenstrasse - Wolfschlucht - Bruderholzstrasse - Tellplatz - Heiligholzstrasse - Grosspeterstrasse - Monument - Aeschenplatz - Bankverein - Kunstmuseum - Wettsteinplatz - Messeplatz - Clarastrasse - Claraplatz - Rheingasse - Schifflände - Marktplatz - Barfüsserplatz - Bankverein - Aeschenplatz via Wolfschlucht back to the Bruderholz. Due to the construction of the Parking Kunstmuseum, line 15 has been running from Thursday, March 28, 2019 until the end of 2020 in both directions from Bankverein via Barfüsserplatz to the Schifflände.
Since the timetable change in summer 2001, line 15/16 has passed many Basel attractions. The Basel Tourist Office even promotes route 15/16 as a “panorama line”.
Rolling stock
From 1968, the old two-axle Ce 2/2 motor vehicles with C 2 trailers were replaced by the new, air-sprung standard motor vehicles Be 4/4 with B 4 trailers. The Be 4/6 Düwag , from 1986 the new generation of the Be 4/4 motor vehicles with four-axle trailers B 4 and from 1990 the articulated motor vehicle Be 4 / 6S with low-floor middle sections (sedan chair) had also been in use since the 1970s . The use of the Be 4/6 Düwag today is mostly limited to Sunday courses. Due to the inclines and tight curves, it is currently not possible to use the Combino Be 6/8 trams over the Bruderholz.

Line 16 (BVB)
Line 16 : Bruderholz - Schifflände - Badischer Bahnhof
In 1930 the Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.) opened the tram route, known as Line 16, from the Bruderholz - Wolfschlucht - Heuwaage - Schifflände to the Badischer Bahnhof .
history
On May 15, 1930, another urban tram line was opened by Basler Strassen-Bahnen (B. St. B.). It was given the number 16 and led from the Badischer Bahnhof through the city center and the Wolfschlucht to the Bruderholz . The trams on line 16 also had to bypass their trailer on the Bruderholz using a track change, as a turning loop could not be built.
From May 22, 1932 to December 3, 1939, line 16 was extended via the Badischer Bahnhof via Eglisee to the Riehen border. Until March 31, 1968, the terminus between Schifflände and Mustermesse changed every few years. But since 1972 it has stayed with the Schifflände. There were only changes as a result of construction work.
From 1968
When in 1968 the new large-capacity one- way motor vehicles , the Be 4/4 , were used on line 16 across the Bruderholz, lines 15 and 16 had to be linked. After changing the number, the journey is continued. As of April 1, 1968, the 16er no longer travels via Wolfschlucht, but via Jakobsberg to the Bruderholz. From its final stop the new route of the 16er Schifflände - Marktplatz - Barfüsserplatz - Theater - Heuwaage - Market Hall - IWB - Gundeldingen Train Station - Solothurnerstrasse - Tellplatz - Heiliggeistkirche - Zwinglihaus - Mönchsbergerstrasse - Leimgrubenweg - Jakobsberg - Hechtliacker - Hauensteinerstrasse - Bruderholz . After changing the number to 15, the journey continues - to the exhibition center.
Since the timetable change in summer 2001, line 15/16 has passed many Basel attractions. The Basel Tourist Office even promotes route 15/16 as a “panorama line”.
Rolling stock
From 1968 the old two-axle motor car Ce 2/2 with C 2 trailer was replaced by the new, air-suspension standard motor car Be 4/4 with B 4 trailer. The Be 4/6 Düwag , from 1986 the new generation of the Be 4/4 motor vehicles with four-axle trailers B 4 and from 1990 the articulated motor vehicle Be 4 / 6S with low-floor middle sections (sedan chair) had also been in use since the 1970s . The use of the Be 4/6 Düwag today is mostly limited to Sunday courses. Due to the inclines and tight curves, it is currently not possible to use the Combino Be 6/8 trams over the Bruderholz.

Line 17 (BLT)
Line 17 : Ettingen - Schifflände (- Wiesenplatz)
Line 17 is a Basel tram line operated by Baselland Transport AG (BLT). This leads on line 10 from Monday to Friday during peak traffic times (morning and evening) and on Saturday afternoon from Ettingen via the theater to the Schifflände or to the Wiesenplatz emergency courses.
history
On October 4, 1887, the Birsigthalbahn AG opened its first section from Basel Steinentorstrasse to Therwil. On October 11, 1888, the extension to Flüh was opened and on May 1, 1910, the last section from Flüh to Leimen and Rodersdorf in Solothurn followed.
Due to the expansion of the Basler Strassen-Bahnen network (B. St. B.), the terminus had to be relocated from Steinentorstrasse to Heuwaageplatz on April 2, 1900.
From 1966 the Birsigthalbahn received new shuttle trains, consisting of a BCe 4/4 multiple unit and a Bt 4 control car from Schindler Waggon Pratteln (SWP). The compositions were reinforced with an intermediate car. As a result, the up to 60 year old vehicle stock could be decommissioned. Since there were no reversing loops at either end of the line, the shuttle trains brought significant operational relief.
When Birsigthalbahn AG (BTB) merged with Birseckbahn AG (BEB), Trambahn Basel-Aesch AG (TBA) and Basellandschaftliche Ueberlandbahn (BUeB) to form Baselland Transport AG (BLT) on December 20, 1974 , the suburban railway from Basel received to Rodersdorf , following the urban tram lines, line number 17. The shuttle trains of the former BTB were not repainted in the BLT's corporate colors. They continued to operate in light blue colors, only received a white BLT signet and the number 17.
It was not until the night of October 26-27, 1984 that the Basel - Rodersdorf railway was switched to tram operation. The blue BLT vehicles were replaced by the yellow / red trams of the BLT. Number 17 was retained.
From 1986
On October 24, 1986, the connection with the city's tram network was established. The Heuwaage terminus was connected to the existing BVB tracks on the Heuwaage . At the confluence between Theater and Steinenberg, a connection in the direction of Bankverein - Aeschenplatz was also necessary.
On October 25, 1986, line 10 took over the route of the 17 series. This created the longest cross-border tram line in Europe.
The now vacant number 17 was used from October 25, 1986 for training courses on workdays and Saturdays during peak traffic times. Since then, we have been driving from Ettingen - Känelmatt - Therwil - Hüslimatt - Oberwil - Stallen - Bottmingen - Batteriestrasse - Binningen - Binningen Oberdorf - Dorenbach - Zoo - Heuwaage - Theater - Barfüsserplatz - Marktplatz - Schifflände - Rheingasse - Claraplatz - Barracks - Feldbergstrasse - Bläsiring - Dreirosenbrücke - Ciba - Wiesenplatz. This serves to relieve line 10 and the tram line to Kleinhüningen . The exhibition grounds used to be used for special occasions in Basel . Line 17 is listed in the official course book.
Innovations by tram operation
As a result of the switch from rail to tram operation, a tram depot was built in the Hüslimatt near Oberwil. The route between the Hüslimatt and Rodersdorf is an overland railway. All vehicles that run on this route must also have the appropriate rail equipment. The line is equipped with a section block. The trams need a horn for overland operation. The route between Ettingen and Rodersdorf has remained single-track. Turning loops had to be set up at the Heuwaage and in Oberwil (at the depot), Ettingen , Flüh and Rodersdorf .
Rolling stock
Steam locomotives of the type G 3/3 ( box locomotives ) were in use from the opening . As early as 1905, the Birsigthalbahn (BTB) was converted to electric operation. Between 1905 and 1953, the railway procured various generations of four-axle BCe 4/4 motor vehicles with the corresponding trailers. Second-hand vehicles were also acquired from other companies. It was not until 1966 that modern shuttle trains , consisting of the ABe 4/4 multiple units , intermediate cars and Bt 4 control cars , could be put into service. These commuter trains operated as line 17 under the BLT flag from 1974 . From 1984 the articulated motor vehicles Be 4/6 (built in 1971/72) of the former Basel - Dornach railway of the BEB could be found on the former BTB route . The BLT also used their new Be 4/6 (built 1978–1981). From 1986 onwards, line 17 operated mainly with the Be 4 / 8S «sedan» with B 4 trailers. When the latter were scrapped in 2012, Be 4/8 operated with Be 4/6 of series 101ff on route 17. and 201ff. as well as the new Be 6/10 Tango. Since 2016, line 17 has been mostly used for the “200” Be 4/8 + Be 4/6, rarely also Tango Be 6/10

Line 21 (BVB)
Line 21 : Badischer Bahnhof - St. Johann station
Line 21 of Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe (BVB) runs on the Badischer Bahnhof route via Dreirosenbrücke to St. Johann station .
history
The Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe (BVB) are also not completely unaffected by the foolish goings-on at the Basel Carnival , which is known throughout Europe . It was precisely for this occasion that she used a tram with line number 21 for the first time on February 18, 19 and 20, 2002 from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. The tram with the unknown number received a lot of attention. The passengers wanted to know where this carnival train was going. Therefore this is still known today. The route was Riehen border - Eglisee - Badischer Bahnhof - Messeplatz - Dreirosenbrücke - Kannenfeldplatz - Burgfelderplatz - Brausebad - SBB train station - Aeschenplatz via Breite to Birsfelder Hard . So it was a combination of the regular lines 6, 1 and 3. This operational line had proven itself, so it was used again at the Carnival in 2003, 2004 and 2005.
From 2004
Between 2004 and 2008 the last section of the north bypass was about to be completed. From Voltaplatz, new tracks were laid through Voltastrasse to St. Johann station. A turning loop was set up at the station and the tracks in Entenweidstrasse were connected to the existing line. The route in the Gasstrasse was removed.
From 2009 on
Since March 9, 2009, line 21 has been commuting between the terminal stops at peak traffic times on weekdays as a feeder to the chemical industry . The route is Badischer Bahnhof - Gewerbeschule - Messeplatz - Riehenring - Musical Theater - Brombacherstrasse - Dreirosenbrücke - Novartis Campus - Voltaplatz - St. Johann station .
Rolling stock
The large-scale Be-4/4 with four-axle trailer with sedan chair B 4 S and four-axle trailer B 4 , also articulated motor vehicle Be 4 / 6S with sedan chair and Be 4/4 (as Be 8/10), or the Be 6/8 Combinos used. Occasionally, Be 4/6 Düwag were also to be found in double traction. From 2009 onwards, the 21 articulated motor vehicles Be 4 / 6S with sedan chair and the Be 4/6 Düwag were used. Since both types have since been scrapped, the Be 4/4 are currently running with the B4 and the Be 4/6 Flexity.
