Step 1,Ws in regular service.

Seems to me that we have a fair advantage here in Melb.Both the Govt. and the operators are committed to running Ws in regular service,as I understand it our benevolent Govt. is providing the dosh for brake modifications after Yarra and M-tram wriggled out of the obligation,Yarra at least have admitted that they have no choice,they obviously don't want to have to but they do have to.The Govt. is also coming up with the money for these bullshit tram attendants, maybe they could demand some say as to how they are used,they could at least request that they be a little more passenger[not customer] friendly,as it is they seem to hunt in packs and this intimidating,to repeat myself,make some of them safety zone connies,an individual is always more approachable,our drivers are just and only, that, so we need a more human face,a better and more consistent point of contact with the public.I really think the re-establishment of W class operation on a couple of lines has to be insisted on and I think that is perfectly feasible,routes 8&12 at least off peak for a start.This is a foot in the door for later special use of more ancient rolling stock.Greg Kings idea of a W drivers roster is a good one too.If a campaign has to be run to get this limited W operation up and running then what better way of forming a pressure group for a later,larger agenda.Lets crawl before we walk.Peter E.,Muni stuff is interesting and very instructive especially for further along the way.Anyway ,lets use the restoration of Ws as the starting point,I reiterate,there is a potentially advantageous position here,a moral high ground[pardon the pomposity].What do you reckon?????Peter Bruce.
