De Panne - Knokke Trams - Belgium

PictureAm8 Kusttram No.6007 stands at De Panne station / interchange ready to depart for Knokke.
De Panne (Adinkerke) is the start point for the Kusttram Network the Belgian Coast Tram which operates along a 68km coastal route between De Panne to Oosende and onto Knokke, located near the Dutch border. The line is built at meter gauge and runs from 600V overhead electric. There are 69 stops along the length of the line with tram intervals of between 15-20 minutes in each direction, along with connections to Mainline Belgian Stations at De Panne, Oostende, De Haan, Blackenberg and Knokke. We followed the unique coastal tram line to Oostende during out visit to the line. It's a unique stretch of coastal tramway.
