The Schwerin tramway network (German: Straßenbahnnetz Schwerin) is a network of tramways forming the key feature of the public transport system in Schwerin, the capital city of the federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.
Opened on 1 December 1908, the electrically powered network is currently operated by Nahverkehr Schwerin GmbH [de], and has four lines.
Lines
The network's four lines, and their headways during the day (depending in part upon the time of day, or day of week) are:
| Line | Route | Headway |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kliniken – Hegelstraße | 15 / 20 / 30 minutes |
| 2 | Lankow Siedlung – Hegelstraße | 15 / 20 / 30 minutes |
| 3 | Hegelstraße – Neu Pampow | 30 minutes (Monday-Friday, mornings and afternoons) |
| 4 | Platz der Freiheit – Neu Pampow | 30 / 60 minutes |
Rolling stock
The current fleet consists of 30 Flexity Classic SN2001 low-floor trams, manufactured from 2001 to 2003 by Bombardier Transportation in Bautzen. The three-section trams are 30 m long with space for 199 passengers, including 84 seated. Beginning in 2019 the trams were modernised with new electronics from Kiepe Electric and air conditioning.
