This is what the combino in Basel looks like:

We had problems with the combino, don't know what it was all about, here just two headlines:
Sanierung Combino and Basler Combino-Flotte Basel-Stadt und Siemens haben sich über Schadenersatzzahlungen geeinigt.
All of a sudden the city was short of trams, so other Swiss cities lend us their old trams, looked fun as they had all different colors, but some looked more like your nr. 9.

Looks like we are getting some new ones too - this one called Tango:

This time from a Swiss company - more here

It was the main problem of the original Combinos I mentioned in the diary: their carbody was made of lightweight aluminium, and fissures appeared in them, which is rather difficult to repair.

We got those in Amsterdam too. Some start-up problems but they seem to be fixed now.
