Comments about Newcastle
  Richard Youl

Following the publication of my Sydney Light Rail opening video on Friday, a couple of comments have appeared in reply.

I don’t think I’m informed enough to comment about the practicability or not of the first Newcastle Tramway but the impression I got from people like Noel Reed and Arthur Perry who rode it was that it was a pretty fast tramway which provided a good service. The person who made the comment is far too young to have witnessed it himself.

Perhaps others would like to comment here.

Also note the following comment from somebody working adjacent to the new line. I have asked him to get some accurate timings of stop dwell times if he can. Certainly timetabling one or two minutes dwell time per tram stop would be worse than laughable.

Regards,
