Now I will apologise at the outset for the title and move on, to the interesting stuff.
The Berlin network is one of the oldest, having been established in 1865 and is the third largest tram system in the world beaten only by Melbourne and St Petersburg.
It runs 22 lines covering 430 kilometres and boasts 800 stops.
All of which made it a perfect subject for Peter to paint.
Now there are plenty more fascinating facts but I shall leave them for another day.
That said there will be plenty out there who will have lots to say including Peter who has done the Berlin tram routes and is therefore a better authority than me.
