I assume that these additional trams will have no trouble with the existing
Adelaide tram tracks.

What about the dual voltage trams which will operate on the Port line
together with the EMU trains.

Will they be fitted with 'hybrid' wheels like the Sydney Variotrams to
enable them to cope with both

tramway and railway style track standards ?

points.

Thanks Ian,

That clears it up.

I called past Preston this afternoon and spoke to the truck drivers who
were there.

They said that they had delivered 3 more trams yesterday and were
waiting to load 167 for Adelaide this afternoon.

Adelaide TDUers - you have been alerted!

Here's a pic of one of the new arrivals (Madrid No 169)in the process of
being put together this afternoon.
