>>1227059>the tramway operator ÜSTRA got two new high-capacity trains consisting of two EMUs and a central motorless car each>they even had a buffet section for some time >depots were at Rethen (near the half-way point) and Hildesheim >Hildesheim Tramway was closed in 1945 after heavy bombings>the southern half of the interurban line was closed in 1958 >Sarstedt is now the terminus of Hannover Stadtbahn line 1>ÜSTRA want to close down the remaining track between Gleidingen and Sarstedt>this is because of low demand and because Heisede and Sarstedt are in Hildesheim District, not Hannover Region, so financing is a messThis counts as an interurban, right? I don't think you can call Hildesheim a sattelite city to Hannover, at the very least not back when this line was fully operational.
