Re: Re: Elgin St centre platform stop

On first ride I had on an Urbos 3 (2112) on the IWLR last year, the driver opened the left side doors at Lilyfield, the only stop with a centre off side platform.

I haven’t seen it happen since.

Yarra Trams is aware of it because it was raised as an issue with offside platforms in a paper for a conference at Sydney University about 10 years ago. Presumably they've been over-ridden by the road authorities.
