RMIT University transport researcher Graeme Turnbull said Melburnians were
too nostalgic about W-class trams.
"While historically they may represent much value, their place in our
transport system is no longer viable," he said.
"Melbourne should follow the example set by cities overseas that run a
modern service and bring out historic trams for special occasions".
Wasn't this the logic behind replacing all tram services in major cities in
Australia and round the world? Replace the words 'modern trams' with 'modern
clean efficient buses'...
