In conjunction with the Tramway Celebration, the audience was also able to vote on a name for the very first Tampere Tramway car.&nbsp;The proposed names were Lyyli and Lydia, with Lyyli taking the win. In order of arrival and starting from the first tram car, the selected names are:&nbsp;<strong>Lyyli, Valma, Saaga, Lempi, Iisakki, Visa, Helin\u00e4, Atro, Aava, Tellervo, Tuure, Kukka, Ritva, Ensio, Urho, P\u00e4ivi\u00f6, Aliisa, Olga <\/strong>and<strong> Veera<\/strong>. Tampere will receive a total of 20 tram cars, the last of which arrives in September. The tramway builders voted on the name <strong>Hilla<\/strong> for the 20th car.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>At this time, the only difference between the tram cars is their serial number, which are in the format TRO01. The TRO abbreviation comes from the name Tampere Raitiotie Oy (Tampere Tramway Ltd), which owns the cars.&nbsp; From mid-August on, names will also be visible on the tram cars. They will be taped onto the lower edge of the cab using the Hervanta font. The same font is used in the literary art on the tram car windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Further information:<br>Sari M\u00e4kel\u00e4<\/strong><br>Communications Manager<br>Tampere Tramway Ltd<br>Tel. +358 (0)40 800 4202<br>sari.makela@tampereenraitiotie.fi<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read also:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-tampereen-ratikka wp-block-embed-tampereen-ratikka\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"6D2WQccIpr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tampereenratikka.fi\/en\/tampere-finland-is-making-tramway-history-traffic-on-tampere-tramway-will-begin-as-scheduled-on-9-august-construction-work-will-be-ready-on-time-and-under-budget\/\">Tampere, Finland, is making tramway history: Traffic on Tampere Tramway will begin as scheduled on 9 August \u2013 construction work will be ready on time and under budget<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Tampere, Finland, is making tramway history: Traffic on Tampere Tramway will begin as scheduled on 9 August \u2013 construction work will be ready on time and under budget&#8221; &#8212; Tampereen Ratikka\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tampereenratikka.fi\/en\/tampere-finland-is-making-tramway-history-traffic-on-tampere-tramway-will-begin-as-scheduled-on-9-august-construction-work-will-be-ready-on-time-and-under-budget\/embed\/#?secret=DTPnqGLkID#?secret=6D2WQccIpr\" data-secret=\"6D2WQccIpr\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The results of the voting on tram car names was announced in conjunction with the Tramway Celebration held on 8 August.
