G'day all, in regards to the L1 shuttle service to the ICC today &
tomorrow, I was at Central this morning and was going to board a tram but
there were lots of Hi Vis types around directing people traffic.
There were 3 trams in the colonnade when I was there. One just outside, one
inside & another pulled up behind it with ICC shuttle only on the desto.
My Wife & I waited for the next tram that was going all the way to Dulwich
Hill.

While I was there I took a few pix.

Regards,

Tim, in Sydney. (Counting the hours til Sunday)
