M>Tram & W-class Cars

Hello,
In the October issue of 'Transit Australia', right at the end of a
section headed 'Green W-class Trams Return', there is a single
sentence which states:

"M>Tram will not be returning W class trams to service."

Is this right? If so, how have they managed to get around the clauses
re W-class trams which are (supposedly) in their contracts?

There is conflicting information (seemingly) about this in two recent
reports on this site.

In Message 3890, Andy B refers to Glen Huntly staff being issued with
fault finding material for Ws, and in Message 3897, Paul N refers to
a paragraph in this month's 'Light Rail...' which suggests that Yarra
Trams are to take over M>Tram.

As a poor Adelaidean, suffering from 'W-class deprivation', can
anyone closer to the scene please clarify the situation?

Even from over here, it has been obvious that Yarra Trams are making
all the running on getting W-class trams going again - perhaps the
best thing would be if they do take over M>Tram?

I'm afraid I won't die happy until I can again travel down St Kilda
Road in a 'real' tram! (I hope I still have 20 years or so to do
this!)

Cheers,
Trevor
