Hard to see through the windows but there seem to be normal seats too
Why did they stop?
Probably a lack of flexibility. Railway is the king of inter-city cargo, but the limited capacity and fixed routes and schedules make trams less efficient in populated areas.
I can speculate myself 😅 But I was interested in the actual reason, as delivering packages to specific postal lockers would work very well if those lockers are placed near the tram stations, which they often are.
From a brief googling on DDG: https://www.railwaygazette.com/light-rail-and-tram/parcels-by-tram-project-ends/66165.article
It was a trial run, and there wasn’t enough demand. The trams also weren’t permitted to carry passengers.
“Googling on DDG” heh
They took our data, we’ll take their trademark.
