Re: Glenferrie Rd Tram Square

Hello Glenn,

Sorry for the delay.

I have no particular knowledge of the replacement timescale. The job at Glenhuntly station,
which I did not think they would bother with, gave no timescale at all. I don’t know whether
any times have been published for the other jobs. Maybe a website search will reveal something.

Next Friday’s video will cover the Skyrail project involving Noble Park.

Regards,

Richard

Hello Richard,

Please elaborate on the replacement in the next few years of these fascinating crossings, i.e., which ones and when.

Regards,

Glen Mills

>> This takes a massive battering with every train that passes over, I can’t vouch for the tram traffic but can’t imagine it’s much better. If you look closely (rail traffic is horizontal – that visible being the down line, tram traffic vertical) you’ll see a groove through the railway head the width of a tram wheel, what has caused this I have no idea. I thought maybe tram rail grinding, (maybe the trammies amongst us might know) but with this additional width for the rail wheels to pass over, in addition to the flange groove, makes for a massive shuddering ride. It is quite surprising to me how narrow the tram groove is.
