Eat that Sydney and your four years for laying the same length of track (x 12, Sydney did about 12 simultaneous sections of similar length, taking four years of massive disruption.  During that period, and in much shorter time,  Canberra laid an entire brand new tramway of similar length and got it running).


To be fair, there was quite a bit of preparatory work done in Toorak Rd West before the tramway was built - including relocating a gas main and changing sewer access points. (See pic).

However, at least they *knew *they were there rather than being surprised to come across them!

Mal Rowe - attaching a pic of a curve that will presumably be renewed.
