The Age report (17 December 2002) mentions the National Bus

operations are not being handed back to the Government.
It also indicates that Yarra Trams are in no real hurry to fill

gap left by the departure of National Express.
But the Government is reported as being committed to the

continuing

private operation of Melbourne's tram system.

YT could be the real winner from this. NEX were trying to sell
M>Tram to YT, but why would they buy it when the fact is that M>
are/were never going to make money? This way, the government gets a
single operator for the tram network and doesn't have to approve a
merger/sale, they get to dictate the terms. YT can possibly get the
other part for cheaper/nothing, and renegotiate the contracts to
become more realistic.

I guess Andy B was right about something regarding NEX handing over
on the 15/12... =)
