Now, if you know where to look you can find a tram in Naples.
This one runs to the Corso Garibaldi and is one of the three services which are routes 1, 2 and 4.
I have no idea what happened to route 3, but given that this is Naples there can be any one of a number of explanations.
The most likely is that it was lost once when the tram network was more extensive.
The good news is that trams are on the increase again in the city and that has to be good.
They first began running a service in 1875 which was two years before Rome and at present there are 11.8 km of track.
I wish we could have caught one last month when were there but next time I shall.
And in the same way when we return to Rome I will board one of their green ones.
My preferred choice would be one of these older ones, but I am guessing it will have been replaced by the new sleeker models.
Well, we shall see.
