The The Hague Tram is a tram network forming part of the public transport system in The Hague, the seat of government of the Netherlands.Opened in 1864, the network currently has eleven tram lines and three light rail lines, operating under the brand Randstadrail. It has been operated by HTM Personenvervoer since 2002, being the successor of N.V. Gemengd Bedrijf Haagsche Tramweg-Maatschappij (01-01-1927 - 11-06-2002) and N.V. Haagsche Tramweg-Maatschappij (HTM) (01-05-1887 - 01-01-1927).The first lines in The Hague were horse drawn. In the first halve of the 80's of the 19th century steamtrams appeared. These were rapidly replacing the horsedrawn lines, especially in the longer services such as the line between The Hague and Delft in July 1887, still in service today, but now extended to Scheveningen Noorderstrand. In 06-08-1904 the first electrified line went into service, being line 9 between Plein and Scheveingen Kurhaus. Most of this line is still part of the actual line between Vrederust and Scheveingen Noorderstrand.A 1.25-kilometre (0.78 mi) long downtown tunnel for trams, used by Lines 2, 3, 4 and 6, was opened in March 2004.The acual fleet consists of around 135 recently refurbished trams of the GTL8-I (1981-1984) and GTL8-II-type (1990-1991), built by La Brugoise & Nivelles in Bruges, Belgium, nowadays Bombardier Transportation and of 72 dual-voltage tram-trains/lightrail vehicles of the Regiocitadis-type built by Alstom in Salzgitter, Germany.
