Unfortunately, my English knowledge is not without gaps. Thus, if you happen to find some grammar or spelling mistakes, please do not hesitate to correct them without notice on this discussion page. If you find mistakes in the content of this article, please put a short note below this paragraph before you change it. Greetings, Thomas Goldammer 22:08, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
The statement "An average tramway car ran over 170 million kilometers per year" is preposterous. There are 8760 hours in a year, meaning that each car travelled 19,000 kilometers an hour. Jws21jws21 Jws21
There were some places in which I was not sure as to the intended meaning during edits. Please correct any mistakes. Locopingvin ( talk) 06:01, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Most of the links in this article link to German names. Would it be more appropriate to place the links on the English translations because of this article's residence in the English Wikipedia? Locopingvin ( talk) 21:44, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Here in en.WP 'ß' has been used. Even though the article kindly allows use of 'ss' instead. Should en.WP use 'ß' which has no place in English writing? You can't compare use of the character with that of accents which are fairly well known. But isn't the undertaking 'Berliner Straßenbahn'? Do we go the whole hog and have 'Berlin Strassenbahn' or the whole Schwein for 'Berliner Straßenbahn'?-- SilasW ( talk) 09:16, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

" from any of them—it would appear to be the term used most frequently internally within Wikipedia as well as within those sites that point to Wikipedia in some capacity.Trams are stored off-line when not in use (e.g. for maintenance, or over-night storage) at various depots (or garages). Mention of the identity and locations of these depots would be useful, and would also be consistant with other similar Wikipedia articles, e.g. the Vienna Tram article details the depots and the Prague Tram article mentions them.
Since I wrote the above paragraph, I've done a bit of digging around and I think I've found where the depots are...
I doubt if this list is completely accurate. It would be appreciated if someone actually living in Berlin could confirm or correct the research I've carried out. The Internet has helped in one or two places, but a direct inquiry to BVG MAY be the only solution. Hope this helps. Taff Hewitt ( talk) 17:19, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
OK, I've added my piece - feel free to rip it to shreds!!! Actually, the information is fundamentally correct, but my insistance in showing where they are and (indirectly) how to get there may be 'un-Wikipedic' (pardon?). The identity of the depots came from the German version of this article (thanks for that, Toby J), the precise locations came from Google Street View, and the Tram & Bus route info came from the BVG web-site. I've no idea how I apply the source references into the article, and I'd be obliged if someone could do the necessary. Taff Hewitt ( talk) 14:25, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
I thank you for you input, Bahnfrend. I'm not Wikipedically competant, so any required corrections are greatly appreciated. Incidentally, I read the Vienna Tram article prior to going on a recent holiday to Vienna (& Prague & Berlin) to see what sort of fleet they had, for photographic purposes. My hotel was just down the road from Hernals Depot! So your translation efforts DEFINATELY had an positive end-result! Taff Hewitt ( talk) 17:18, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved per request. Favonian ( talk) 17:18, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
Berlin tram → Trams in Berlin – standard form name for articles in this series, eg Trams in Amsterdam, Trams in Budapest, Trams in Lisbon, Trams in Vienna, Trams in Germany, etc. – I have listed the request here as potentially controversial only because there have been some previous name changes for this article that were swiftly reverted on the basis that they hadn't been previously discussed. Bahnfrend ( talk) 17:09, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
Comment There is now a similar move request for Munich Tramway. Bahnfrend ( talk) 13:46, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
