Obviously, Peter B, when we start on this issue, it's the government and the
public we will be working on. Win them and those wog operating companies
will know which way the wind is blowing. They are politically vulnerable.
I'm good at playing that game if it becomes necessary. The first time they
feel the lash they'll look for alternative courses of action. It's all
theatre and should be played in public.

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

G'day Peter E.My message 1205 was meant to address these distractingissues,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

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,
Milantram
