The bean counters don't understand "emotional" or "historic" tourism

Only as remenants of the "at abandonment" systems, not as pieces of a
functional public tranport system.

If the Yarra and Swanson are so disinterested in the W's, maybe someone
should set up another company to operate them on specific routes.
Yes there are costs of running old tram cars, but what are the benefits

For the non-tourist passengers on those routes, nothing.
