Looking forward to EU in three weeks, missing Brno but visiting Prague, unfortunately on weekdays, so will see T3s but no other heritage trams.
My last visit to Brno was on the occasion of 150 years of railways in Czechoslovakia just a few months before their Velvet Revolution:
My focus then was on mainline steam, but then had time for these snaps near Brno station.
These weren't heritage in those days! Trams outnumbered cars:
