Nockebybanan is a tram line between Nockeby and Alvik in the western suburbs of Stockholm, Sweden. The long line is part of the Storstockholms Lokaltrafik public transport network, and connects with the Stockholm Metro and Tvärbanan light rail at Alvik. Nockebybanan, also known as line 12, is operated by Arriva. == History == The first part of the current line to :sv:Alléparken was opened in 1914, following the construction of a pontoon bridge across :sv:Tranebergssund. The line was then gradually extended westwards, reaching the current terminus at Nockeby in 1929. To the east, the line ran to :sv:Tegelbacken in central Stockholm. The pontoon bridge was replaced in 1934 with the new Tranebergsbron. Planning for a Metro system started around this time, and in 1944 the :sv:Ängbybanan route was built to from Alvik to :sv:Åkeshov (and later Islandstorget), operated initially with trams but designed as a grade-separated route for later conversion. Conversion happened in 1952, forming the western section of the present-day Green Line. Consequently, the Nockebybanan was cut off from running into the city and became a feeder route for the Metro at Alvik. Nockebybanan and Lidingöbanan were the only tram lines in the Stockholm region not to be withdrawn in conjunction with the switch to right-hand traffic in 1967. Since the line does not run on the street, and was simple and self-contained, and bi-directional rolling stock was available from the pre-metro tram lines, it was easier to convert to right-hand running than the rest of the network. Trams now run on the right from Nockeby to the penultimate station at Alléparken, where they cross over and run on the left into Alvik, permitting cross-platform interchange with the Metro. By the 1990s, the line and rolling stock was in a poor state of repair and was widely expected to be dismantled and replaced with bus services. In 1975, the line had been re-numbered from 12 to 120, matching the numbering scheme used by local buses. However, a concerted local campaign saved the line and from June 1997 to June 1998 the line was closed and renovated, and new Flexity Swift (A32) trams were introduced from 1999. A running race in the surrounding neighbourhoods, :sv:Tolvanloppet takes both name and distance (12 km) from the line number. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nockebybanan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
