Great video! I'm recording a video on the history of Gothenburg's tram system and I came across this, I'm glad I did. Hammarkullen station has always fascinated me because I lived my first 5 years in Gothenburg never travelling north of Centralstationen on the tram network, and then I was once invited to a friend's house in Hammarkullen and it was like a complete new world. I did not expect the tram to be driving on the left, for the station to be in a tunnel, or for there to be a super long escalator there. It felt like suddenly being in Stockholm.
Fun, interesting and informative video! Thank you. :D Building an underground network in Göteborg would be extremely difficult, considering very large areas of the city sit on extremely deep layers of clay (70 meters or perhaps more in places.) Tunneling through that for many tens kilometers on end would be insanely difficult, take enormous time and resources and create gigantic disruptions in the city. We see that now with the building of the Västlänken (the western link), a set of rail tunnels for passenger commuter trains. Delays and cost overruns and continuous chaos on surface road network around construction areas have become an all too familiar story since construction began more than six years ago now, and the project was supposed to be finished by 2026. Now it's looking like the project won't hit fully completed until at least 2030, about another six years away, with costs spiralling to multiples of the originally projected budget. So...no thanks, when it comes to any underground network in these parts. Also, the bad air quality and extreme noise in the Stockholm underground isn't something I would want over here as well. They can keep theirs! lol
Great video, you know that many stations on the angered track where built to easily be turned into metrostations and therby have unusually high standards for trams?
I used to live here but someone shot at my window so I moved I feel like you're ignoring the fact there’s a lot of crimes in this place and gangs it's a very dangerous neighborhood don't move here

A well written, deftly presented and irresistibly engaging mini-documentary. What a treat ❤️️
Here, have a like for the RUclips algorithm

Good video!
