Those Combino supra trams they use in Budapest are a long tram.And I see they are still using those ex Hannover Germany Duwag TW 6000 trams or light rail like 1592 around Budapest.

Thanks for sharing. Budapest's tram system has always fascinated me, and I will finally be able to ride it in a few months time.

Where abouts did you take the photo of the route 7A Volvo bus and the route 41 Ganz tram? Was that on Szent Gellért rkp beside the river?

Yes spot on! Yes I enjoyed Budapest's tram system myself, but experiencing the whole week there with 35-40 degree temperatures, it was not so pleasant being on any of the older trams for too long! Our visit was timed well after the floods which swept through, and should time well for you as it will be a cooler time of the year and a bit more bearable in the city centre where it is full on concrete.
