Peter,I presume tramway staff were supervising the rerailing.I know at one
stage in the PTC days it was seriously proposed to outsource breakdown and
recovery functions,some bullshit about them not being a core activity I
suppose,just like selling tickets when you think about it.M&MTB management
was far from perfect but at least they knew they were managing a tramway
not just a business entity.Modern,so-called,management practice really
shits me,hopefully our tramways will survive it.Ah well,thats got that off
my puny chest.Regards all,Peter Bruce.

There were a lot of people from Theiss Inferaco there, particularly two
observing with close interest the passage of the bogies of the tram I was
on (as a passenger) through the flooded curve running towards the depot on
bang road.. While I didn't note many M>Tram insignia on those who were
assisting with re-railling 100m down the road, I would presume that most
were still M>Tram employees.
