Changes to the vehicle fleet in Brno: some trolleybuses and K2 trams are ending
Trolleybuses 14 Tr, 15 Tr
The operation of other trolleybuses is also coming to an end. The Brno transport company will retire the last piece of 15Tr and the last operated 14Tr this year. “Two 14Tr cars will continue as service trolleybuses to protect the trolleybuses from icing. We will keep one as a retro car,” said Tomaštíková.
According to the spokesman, trolleybuses of type 14Tr still have time to be phased out from the point of view of revisions of tests and raids. “We can operate at least until the end of June this year. Currently, we regularly send out four cars of this type,” said Tomaštíková. Trolleybuses of this type left Brno for the first time in March 1982.

The reconstruction of the 14Tr car, which is to complement the transport company’s retro collection, will end this year. The vehicle is already painted and a waterproof plywood floor has been laid. “We will gradually install seats and handrails in the interior. We will start laying the wiring bundles. We have it here for about five more months,” Čech remarked a few days ago.
This year, the transport company will also decommission ten to fifteen trolleybuses of the 21Tr type. “We will not need the cars and necessary components for the operation of retro trolleybuses, we will offer them for sale or scrap them,” commented the spokeswoman of the transport company.
