Thanks, Andy, for keeping up your reports even over Xmas. I hope everyone on this list had a good Christmas Day.

Re getting stuck on the insulator - was that at the railway crossing? I haven't recorded details, but I assume that all other insulators have overlapping horns so that pantograph-equipped trams maintain continuity with one or other (or, momentarily, both) electrical sections when passing under the insulator. Is that the case?

If not, are such simple devices likely to be fitted?

Cheers,

Brent Efford

Very little to report.

* Z3.117 became stuck under an insulator at Glenhuntly Station at about 16.30, several passengers jumped out and pushed it clear.

* Due to a lack of patronage, most services ran extremely early as too much running time was allocated. Most services ran at low speed to try and maintain on time running, or stopped at various points to try and lose time.
