Back in January 1995 I had the pleasure along with
two other gentlemen to under go driver training at Hawthorn depot on two
motor and four motor tram's for the T.M.S.V. This was in no way as extensive as
the Melbourne tram driver's undergo ,but was carried out properly none the
less,the course only lasted a week and apart from the theory it was as
much on road experience as could be gained.This was done in between the finish
of the morning peak hour and the start of the afternoon peak .The tram's
used were SW 6 890 which has been altered to become a training tram by removing
the end bulk heads at the driver's cabin's ,as well as sign's to inform people
that it was a training tram ,as well as X 2 676.This was an enjoyable week as
well as a very interesting one as well as giving one an insight to tram driving
. Trucker Graeme.
