Re: Getting a vintage tram system going in Melbourne

G'day Peter E.My message 1205 was meant to address these distracting issues,interesting though they are.I feel sure that once we have Ws operating in service again that they, along with the Restaurant Cars will be an effective precedent to occasional[at least]operation of the heritage fleet.In the short term the operators may have enough trouble accepting W class operation,I am reassured by Greg Kings message 1218 re W modification and training.I would be concerned that Yarra and M might resist further developements out of bloodymindedness if it is pushed too soon.That doesn't mean that we shouldn't be thinking,planning and working towards some form of heritage operation,maybe along the lines of Trolley Week.Peter,Murph tells me you havn't been to Melb.,it would be good to see you out here.Regards to all,Peter Bruce.--- In TramsDownUnder@y..., "Peter D.

Hi, gang!

Okay--we need to focus on the real goal here. And that is to get a
dedicated historic tram line going.

It ain't gonna happen if these arguments continue:
Sydney vs. Melbourne
Australia vs. New Zealand
Down Under vs. United States
Urban vs. rural
Etc., etc., ad nauseam

So, please, guys, try to put your differences aside and work toward the
common goal...

Very trolley yours,
