12 june 2009 - Gent (BE) - Burgstraat. The first PCC delivered to Gent in 1971 (#6201) has been nicely restored to the original blue and cream livery of the former Gent tramway company (MIVG) and renumbered back to #01. A very pretty tram.

12 june 2009 - Gent (BE) – Zuid. When I first came to Gent ten years ago, I was surprised to see that their PCC cars had no partition between the passengers and driver (who issues tickets and takes cash). In 2009, I’m really amazed that the unrefurbished cars are still like this – Gent must be a very low-crime city.

24 march 2012 - Gent/Ghent (BE) – depot/zajezdnia Gentbrugge. This is the original Ghent PCC from 1971, retained as a ‘pet’ and restored to original condition. Behind can be seen many of the large fleet of PCCs, some of which no longer see regular use. What a shame it will be when these are gone.....

24 march 2012 - Gent/Ghent (BE) – depot/zajezdnia Gentbrugge. Inside a classic Ghent PCC – note that there is no partition between the driver and passengers. Is this really safe in 2012?
