Dortmund

Edinburgh take note: this is how the professionals do it. The street-level tram system in central Dortmund is being lifted and replaced with a cut-and-cover underground immediately below street level. This view looks over the disused tracks with the brand new Reinoldkirche station just beyond. This frees land to expand the shopping district, reduces congestion and noise.
