Antwerp Tram 12: Full Ride to Schijnpoort Before the Route Was Cut

Tram 12 — from Antwerp's grand Central Station all the way to Schijnpoort, through the working-class neighbourhoods of the northern city. This ride was filmed on one of the last days the line still ran its full length to Schijnpoort — a terminus that has since been cut from the route. On board: a modern CAF tram, capable of running in both directions without turning around. A very different sight from the Ghent-built PCC trams that used to serve this line. From the ornate Chinese Gate at Van Wesenbeekstraat to the quiet end of the line at Schijnpoort, this is Tram 12 as it once was — and a neighbourhood that doesn't always make it onto the tourist map. 🚋 Watch more tram rides on the channel: @antwerpenexplorer 📖 Articles, route guides and the story behind Antwerp's trams: 👉 AntwerpenExplorer.nl 📬 Halte Antwerpen — my newsletter with stories, photos and discoveries from the city.
