City Centre Extension - Sapporo

Sapporo in northern Japan has a tram service that was extended by approximately 450 metres on 19 December 2015, thus completing a loop of 8.41 kilometres for the overall network.  This tram service has good links with underground subway services within the city, but this subway also eliminated the need for larger parts of the tram network, which were closed from 1958.  


The trams need to contend with very cold and snowy weather conditions, as Sapporo was a former host city of the 1972 Winter Olympics.
