At the Tramway Museum, St Kilda, SA, we are contemplating offering a tram driving experience, which will basically be a day session for a group of about 6-8 at about $75 per head.
What we are contemplating is a little along the lines of the "Dream Come True" package from the South Gippsland Tourist Railway.

We will start the day with theory, and then move on to practical instruction and then driving of some of our trams over about 1km of our track. Lunch, probably at the St kilda Hotel, would be included.
Trams to be used may include bogie cars such as Adelaide H Type "Glenelg" 360 and Melbourne W2 Class 294, and a single truck car, either Adelaide C Type "Desert Gold" 186 or possibly Adelaide G Type "Birney" 303. Each participant would get to drive each tram either once or twice (we are still designing the package).
I was just wondering if anyone here would be interested in this type of thing, or if anyone had any suggestions for us.
