G'day Alex,
You said: "It should be noted that so far I have not seen a Citadis in service during the weekends and public holidays. This may be due to the small number of crew that have been trained on the Citadis."
It would be just my luck to get over there & find that no Citadis were running on the weekend for some reason or other.

Any weekend in March suits me at the moment. If there's no accomodation I'll pitch a tent in Peter G's backyard.!!! (Kidding)

Also I hope the H's in storage don't suffer the fate of our Rs & R1s at Rozelle.

Regards,

Tim, in Awfully Humid Sydney.

Normally it has been 203 on this working, although 204 was in service on early Friday evening and throughout the day on Monday. 203 was back on this run Tuesday and yesterday. 204 was on driver training run today and 206, the latest arrival, was out for what appeared to be a technical test. It should be noted that so far I have not seen a Citadis in service during the weekends and public holidays. This may be due to the small number of crew that have been trained on the Citadis. There is currently a fairly intensive training program for recently recruited drivers that is being undertaken on Flexities. I would anticipate that in the next few weeks there will be an increasing number of Citadis service workings. Indeed once the extension is opened and the timetable expanded, the Citadis trams will have to be in service.
