These films are in the area to be traversed by the CSELR. Although the racecourse patronage is much less now, a major university has been added to the catchment.

The racecourse film is a stunning demonstration of the advantages of multiple, evenly-spaced doors for trams operating in busy inner urban environments.

I reckon the CSLER is going to be a very busy line and the only trams on the market, akaik, that approach the turnover capacity of those crossbench Os and Ps are the Forcity and those on the MAN platform.

What's the bet they'll buy trams without enough doors, like these:

Thanks Greg, great films.
