references Melbourne several times - even including photos of Melbourne
trams on pages 11 and 22 - and yet, Sydney refuses to even acknowledge the
existence of a light rail system in Melbourne.

Sydney claims Melbourne has trams, not light rail. And of course, Melbourne
does have trams. Sydney would have a lot more of them running by now --
instead of gathering dust and bird-droppings in New Randwick Depot -- if
TfNSW wasn't so blinkered.

"Toorak Road West" is what I keep saying to TfNSW. "Ten days to lay. Trams
running in-service on the 11th." They never reply, but my god I bet I am
annoying the hell out of them.
