Hello fellow Gunzels and Gunzelettes,
A bit of a weird question, but one that could prove interesting.
I have seen a photo from the South Melbourne Depot. Above the
overhead on road three there is a sign of a tram, with the tram
crossed out. I first assumed that it meant that trams were not
allowed on this road, except the shed was full of trams on that road.
I can't make out what is written on the sign, but I am wondering if
it means no pantograph trams on that road. The photo appears to have
been taken in the mid 90's.
If this is the case, why would panto trams be banned from this road?
Is this the only case where poles are allowed where pantos aren't?
I can't scan the image as I don't have a scanner, so this is one that
will need a bit of brain scratching, or can an old trammie from the
depot enlighen me?
DingDing
Thanks in advance
Jack
