Norrköping, maybe the most interesting tramway city in Sweden now. There are only 4 cities left with traffic ( Gothenburg, Stockholm, Lidingö, Norrköping in regulary traffic, and museum tramways in Malmö, Stockholm and Malmköping ).

In Norrköping, the trams from 1967 is beeing rebuilt, and get a new colorscheme. There are even some newly bought ex-Duisburg ( Germany ) trams, to replace the trams during the rebuilding-period.
