Re: New Melbourne cars..... riding of

Hmm - glad I am a country dweller and don't commute in Melbourne. Words
fail me when I think of a description for the amount of seating.

The comments about the Citadis cars were pretty well dealt with some
time ago including a lot of flaming from a well known member of the
group who works at Southbank.

I attach a drawing of the new M>tram Combino, which I was sworn to
secrecy untill the cars got here !!

The Citadis of course has the same setup.

Note that the cars are in effect two Birneys connected by a waiting
shelter, and most of you will be familliar with the riding qualities
of Birneys !!!!!

In Gunzelland this is (or was) known as the " two rooms and a bath"
system of articulation.

It depends on perfect track for a good ride.

I think I may pass on the comments of Ron Scholten, trainer at
Malvern, who comments that the Combino seems to him to be a far
superior car in every way except the seating........Peruse the plan
and you will note quite a lack of it.
