Kemerovo 1
Kemevero is an industrial town where the first tram route opened in May 1940. More recently an impressive new bridge has been built over the river Tomsk including an express tramway. It was the only tramway we visited to provide uniforms for the drivers but not for the conductors.
On Sunday afternoon we travelled by coach to Kemerovo with the driver getting lost several times before he found our accomodation in country hotel some 12 km away. It looks very nice but the service was poor and the prices very expensive by local standards. It seemed to be used by the local 'Mr bigs' to show off their wealth and shiny cars.
