23. Dvorets Sporta - Svyatoshino | |
 |
Route 23, with loops at both ends, did not need double-ended cars;
therefore, what's seen here is an exception, not a rule,
rendering the picture quite rare.
The inbound car is at Zhilyanskaya St. near Ploschad Pobedy.

30. Vokzal - Pecherskiy Most | |
 |
Tram #30 was the first city item that many guests as well as Kievans returning
home would encounter upon arriving by train.
Here it is on the western side of the Vokzal (railway station) loop
- which does not exist any more...

... and on the eastern side on the same loop, during boarding.
In the background is a trolleybus on route 2 or 10,
in one of the old liveries.

2034 rolls away from the station, down Kominterna, towards Zhilyanskaya...
[Hans Oerlemans, 10.09.1978] |
 |
... and further along the line, 2015 goes up Kominterna
to Saksaganskogo. Behind the trolleybus in the background is
an MTV-82 on route 9, going towards Podol.
Once again, note the virtual absence of cars.

The first stop after Vokzal, at the corner of Saksaganskogo and Tolstogo.
Visible in the foreground are tracks of route 8 along Tolstogo
as well as a track connecting the two lines, which was not used
in revenue service at that time.

The same intersection; the 30 goes towards Vokzal,
encountered by an MTV on route 9 or 10 and a train of Tatras
on route 1. Nowadays, all there is in this intersection
is a single-track service line, whose days are apparently numbered...
[Hans Oerlemans, 11.09.1978] |

Dvorets Sporta (Sports Palace): this was the last stop
for route 1 but an intermediate stop for the 30.
The subsequent run included three right-angle turns
and led trams into...
[Hans Oerlemans, 10.09.1978] |
 |
... the Mechnikov St. line (the next stop is Bulvar Lesi Ukrainki).
These cars go in the opposite direction - the "thirty" towards
Vokzal, the two-car set on the 27 - to its Dvorets Sporta
terminus.

Ulitsa Yanvarskogo Vosstaniya, near Ploschad Slavy (Glory Square),
inbound. The city is decorated for the May 1st holiday.
[Aare Olander, 02.05.1979] |

Ploschad Slavy. One of the first "push-pulls", 2005,
turns into Ul. Suvorova. From here, the tracks led through
Ul. Kutuzova towards Ploschad Lesi Ukrainki, and then
along the boulevard of the same name towards Pecherskiy Most.
Nothing was spared by the spirit of destruction...
