Footage filmed on Monday shows melted sealant along the tram rails as traffic moves past the affected area. Passengers are seen waiting at a bus stop, while departure boards appear to show service disruption.
The problems hit tram services around Plarrer, one of Nuremberg's busiest transport junctions. VAG said replacement buses were running while crews dealt with the damage.

The operator had already reduced tram speeds on parts of the network last week, warning that prolonged high temperatures were putting extra strain on tracks and overhead lines.
VAG also reported problems at Rathenauplatz, where sealing material between the rails and asphalt softened in the heat. Buses were moved away from a tram stop after the material risked sticking to tyres.
