ST11 is a former series of the Darmstadt tram . The abbreviation stands for S traßenbahn- T the rubbing cars 11 . Series. HEAG owned a total of six of these eight-axle articulated wagons ; The vehicles have the Geamatic-C control. With the commissioning of the ST11, there were three-part railcars in Darmstadt for the first time. Manufacturers were Waggon Union and AEG . All vehicles are directional vehicles . They were originally supplied in a beige-orange-gold paintwork with blue stripes and later repainted in the current HEAG design in blue, orange and white. The ST11 have since been discarded. Three were sold to the Iași tram in Romania and two were scrapped. One was preserved as a museum vehicle.

The ST11 is based on the six-axis predecessor series ST10 and is largely identical to the successor series ST12 . All three types in turn originate from the cars 22-25 of the Albtal-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft from Karlsruhe, which were procured in 1975, but which had electrical equipment from BBC .

Structure and equipment

The ST11 is 27 meters long and consists of three modules, with a double-axle motor bogie under the first and the last and two double-axle small wheel bogies under the second. The total drive power is 2 × 197 kilowatts, the motors are air-cooled. All five doors are double outer pivoting doors and have a step.

commitment

The ST11 could be found on all lines. After the sidecars of the SB9 series were delivered in 1994 , the ST11 were mostly used with one. This made it possible to offer a low-floor area despite the high-floor railcar . Therefore, after 1994, the ST11 was no longer allowed to be used on line 1 or 3 as planned, as these lines are operated without a sidecar. Nevertheless, the ST11 was used as an exception after 1994.
