The first articulated tram came to
Trondheim on 29 July 1984. It was stored at Voldsminde, while part of the track through the city center was removed for maintenance. The first test run was on 22 August, and the last tram was delivered on 4 January 1985. The track on the GrĂĄkallen Line was replaced,

Four trams are needed to serve the GrĂĄkallen Line on a 15-minute headway. With two in reserve, six trams are in regular service. On 8 April 1997, trams no. 91 and 98 collided front-to-front. Both were put aside, and were scrapped in 2000. Eleven of the trams have been taken into use by GrĂĄkallbanen,

On 22 June 1989, the city council voted to re-open the line from St. Olavs Gate to Lian. A private company, GrĂĄkallbanen, had been founded to operate the trams without subsidies. Agreements were made to take over seven of the trams from
