Hey Guys,
Mal are there any trams left behind in the depot or did
they all get moved out? Was the fan for roads 1-6 really in that bad a
shape as i thought that it had been relaid along with the fans for the
other shed roads as well in mass concrete within the last 10-12
years,either when they rebuilt the "paddock" rds or the last relay in Mt
Alexander Rd? i did hear that the work was needed,not because the track was
in poor condition necessarily but it was to widen the track centres to be
able to fit bigger trams in.
