Leningrad (now St Petersburg) trams, 1980s


Saint Petersburg used to have the largest tram network in the world, totalling about 340 km in the late 1980s. However, since 1995 the network has been reduced substantially in size, particularly in the city centre, and the network of Saint Petersburg is now second to Melbourne, Australia.  The gauge is the same as the railways in Russia, namely 5 ft or 1520 mm.
