Since Melbourne is getting special work and motors from CZ, it would be
useful for you you to go there Mal to see what other junk from CZ might be
in the offing. It would also give you a change to experience the Skoda 15T
which was being considered for Melbourne at the time of the E class tender.
A bit further ahead in time, but in 2026 you'll be able to ride the Skoda
52T which is their five-section counterpart of the G class, for comparison.
Budapest will be interesting operationally, but the only new trams they are
getting at the moment are CAFs. I think, for obvious reasons, they're only
running on lines that they're suited to.
