Just to humanise this group a bit, who was the first female tram driver? 
 
I believe her name was Joan and she worked at Sth Melbourne depot. Many said there was no way that a female tram driver could stop the weight of a tram and how could she control such a big heavy thing.   She would have many accidents.
 
Personally when I started working on the trams I used to wonder how a woman could drive such a big thing until I realised that you only drive the front, the rest just follows behind.
