Today (Sat.23.11) a further 5 of the PTC heritage tram fleet was
transferred to Hawthorn Depot from Preston Workshops.
L106 left first and went by its self to Hawthorn (same route as last week)
T180, S164, L104 and HTT8 (ex M114), left around 9.45am and took the same
route to Hawthorn.
T180 was having a lot of trouble by Smith St, and stalled several times
going up Gertrude St. By Latrobe St, R10 was called (it was following
anyway, like last week), and a mechanic rode the tram down Latrobe
St. They decided on taking it to Southbank Depot, however by Flinders
Street it was running better, so they continued to Hawthorn.
At Hawthorn, some shunting of the trams already there, and placement of the
latest 5 trams left the following stored there:
1 road: (end) L106, HTT8 (ex M114), L104, W380 (door)
2 road: (end) V214, X1.676, Y1.613, Y469 (door)
3 road: (end) W1.431, S164, T180, X217, W2.512 (door)
4 road: empty
There is a further 4 to be transferred at a later date (I will be sleeping
in next Saturday, and quite possibly getting up early the following
Saturday), selection from: 774, 821, 840, 1040 and 1041.
