The 12 km (7.5 mi) long tramway line between Liberec and Jablonec nad Nisou in the Czech Republic is an interurban transport system connecting these towns.

Overview[]

Its construction started in 1947 and the line became operational on 1 January 1955. Its gauge is 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) metre gauge, while most other tramlines built in Czechoslovakia at this time had 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge. The line is single track with some places upgraded to double track. Over the time the line was also upgraded for higher safety.

Future plans intend to replace this line with Tram-train.^[1]

The other similar intercity tramway lines in the Czech Republic are Most-Litvínov, Ostrava-Kyjovice and Brno-Modřice.
