Trolley 707 on route 9 in Sofia. As is common in some eastern and Asian systems, the 2 prefix before '707' probably indicates the garage to which it is assigned. Photo by Dale Tringham. 7 OCT 2009.

1808 on route 8. The trolley is entering an underpass. Formerly, this underpass was two-way; now it is one-way. The return route of 8 is via surface streets to the north of this underpass. Photo by Dale Tringham. 7 OCT 2009.
Ikarus 2106. This trolley was rebuilt; it dates back to the 70s. This a bit surprising as when I was in Sofia 12 years ago, the Ikaruses were in sad shape. Photo by Dale Tringham. 7 OCT 2009.
