You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Kassel RegioTram''' is a ((convert|184|km|mi|adj=on|sp=us))<ref name="NVV" /> [[tram-train]] [[light rail]] system in [[Kassel]], [[Hesse]], [[Germany]].

Kassel's tram-train system follows the [[Karlsruhe model]], and has been in full operation since 2007. With special RegioTram tramcars, continuous trips between the [[Deutsche Bahn]] heavy rail network and [[Trams in Kassel|Kassel's city tram network]] are easily possible, thus avoiding transfers requiring long walking distances between trains of the [[regional rail]] system and [[tram]]s of the Kassel city system.

The operator of the RegioTram network was, until December 2013, RegioTram mbH, a joint venture between Regionalbahn Kassel (RBK), a subsidiary of the Kasseler Verkehrs-Gesellschaft (KVG), and [[DB Regio]]. Since 9 December 2013, the RegioTram is operated by a consortium of the KVG and [[Hessische Landesbahn]] (HLB). The system is integrated in the [[Nordhessischer Verkehrsverbund]] (NVV).

== Concept ==
((Unreferenced section|date=August 2023))
The implementation of the RegioTram project includes various interlocking measures to improve local public transport in Kassel. ((Cn|date=August 2023))The aim of the project is to link [[Trams in Kassel|Kassel's local tram network]] with the regional rail network so that tram-train vehicles can travel from the city's tram network into the surrounding countryside on regional railroad tracks. The core component of the Kassel RegioTram project is a newly created link between the two rail systems at the [[Kassel Hauptbahnhof]]. The development of the infrastructure required to allow for a 30-minute headways on all lines will be implemented by 2014 at the earliest.

RegioTram operates using 28 tramcars from [[Alstom Citadis|Alstom RegioCitadis]] delivered in 2004. There are two versions of these tramcars: 18 [[Multi-system (rail)|dual voltage]] [[tram-train]]s for use on the electrified network in and outside of Kassel, and 10 [[Electro-diesel locomotive|hybrid tram-trains]] (DC/diesel) for use with a [[diesel engine]] outside Kassel on the section around Wolfhagen. Similar vehicles of the same model are also in use on [[RandstadRail]] in the Netherlands.

== History ==
((Unreferenced section|date=August 2023))
Preliminary operations started on 10 June 2001, initially with six borrowed [[Saarbahn]] tramcars, on the [[Kassel–Warburg railway|Warburg–Kassel line]]. Thus, the previous regional railway timetable was now being served by the new vehicles. RegioTram operation with 30-minute headways was realized. RegioCitadis type vehicles manufactured by [[Alstom]] in [[Salzgitter]] were delivered in July 2004, and took over the operation on this line on 8 May 2005; the borrowed Saarbahn tramcars were then returned. This route is now served by RegioTram Line 1 (RT1).
[[Image:RBK 755 tram-train approaching Wolfhagen.JPG|thumb|250px|RegioTram Kassel dual mode diesel/electric [[Alstom Citadis|Alstom RegioCitadis]] train approaching [[Wolfhagen]] using diesel power.]]
Starting on 29 January 2006, the first RegioTram operations began on the Kassel tram rail network itself. The hybrid RegioTram vehicles joined the tram tracks in the downtown core of Kassel on the Lossetalbahn to [[Hessisch Lichtenau]] during peak hours, the terminus of the tram line. The diesel-electric vehicles used a direct route over the [[Waldkappel]] rail line between Ober- and Nieder-[[Kaufungen]] which is not electrified. This meant, in contrast to the trams which served all stops, a reduction in journey time. In August 2007, the switch to the continuous use of conventional tramcar vehicles on this line was made. The former tram-train runs over the non-electrified railway through Waldkappel were replaced by tram "express" trips that do not operate at all stops along the route.((Cn|date=August 2023))

Starting 1 June 2006, RegioTram operations from Kassel Hauptbahnhof, through [[Baunatal]], [[Guxhagen]] and [[Körle]], to [[Melsungen]], began. This RegioTram Line 5 (RT5) runs alternately once and twice every hour.

Operations between Kassel and [[Wolfhagen]], through [[Ahnatal]] and [[Zierenberg]], began on 10 December 2006 on RegioTram Line 4 (RT4).

Between 16 September 2007 and the timetable change in December 2007, the RegioTram Line 9 (RT9) operated in advance from Kassel Hauptbahnhof to [[Treysa]].((Cn|date=August 2023))

RegioTram routes in Kassel changed 19 August 2007 (RT4), 16 September 2007 (RT3 and RT5) and December 20097 (RT9) from running to the Innenstadtring (Inner Rign Road) in downtown, and instead to Leipziger Straße.  The full development of the infrastructure to allow for a 30-minute headways on all lines will be implemented by 2014 at the earliest.

On the lines RT3 and RT4, new stops at Kassel-Jungfernkopf, and Vellmar-Osterberg/EKZ on the Harleshäuser Kurve, were put into operation on 13 December 2008. On 25 April 2009, a new station Kassel-Kirchditmold was also added to the same section. In Melsungen, a new stop at Melsungen-Bartenwetzerbrücke was put into operation on the RT5 on 20 May 2011.
