Surprised there is no mention of tram platforms in this section. Or are they already there? There are safety zones at all of the
stops in this section of route, surely YT is not going to just replace the safety zones as is?

Or did I miss something?

And 50 years old? from Google Streetview much of the track looks in good condition. Says something for the MMTB methods of track
construction. Hope that all the new track being laid will last that long.
