4K cab view - Newcastle Light Rail Newcastle Interchange to Newcastle Beach, NSW, Australia

Newcastle Light Rail is a light rail line running through the city of Newcastle, Australia's seventh largest city. It opened in 2019, replacing an existing railway line (but using little existing railway equipment), and all sections of the line are non-electrified (overhead line-less), with no overhead lines present.
The drive system is not battery-powered, but a special structure called a hypercapacitor, which is recharged for very short periods of time at each station, and is the only such system in Australia.

First time I've seen a hypercapacitor system in action, fascinating!

Very interesting system! Makes more sense than using "1 million" tons of batteries. I saw some middle line in the ground (between the rails). I suppose that it makes a short in-motion charging. 🤔

I guess these trams couldn’t go much slower than a street clogged with traffic.

you should not be in a hurry to travel with this tram, man, the tram is slow to move, the system is beautiful but there are certainly batteries in this tram to keep it moving and charge it at each stop to go to the next stop come.thank you for sharing this video

Wow 😮 very good 👍😁

[@sarasotasage6135]

Looks like this tram is battery powered.

台湾の高雄LRTと同じ仕組みですね。　この方式は合理的と思います。景観にも配慮し施工費も安価になるのでもっと普及してほしいものですね

日本にほしいところですね、架線式はライトライン（宇都宮LRT）の西側区間を最後に新規導入は見送って、
計画中・交通事情の変化次第では導入可能性ありの地域はこっちを検討してほしいですね
