And finally, what are the plans for East Preston Depot? Based on this PTV travel notice: https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/live-travel-updates/article/route-86-permanent-stop-closure-from-saturday-8-october-2016/ , East Preston tram depot will be closed from the 8th of October. What about all the trams th...

I noticed it to. I was under the understanding that the D2s were Brunswick based and used on route 19. Maybe Malvern has inherited some as both depots share route 8. I'm curious now as well. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk No, Brunswick still has all D2s and they are running them on 8 and 19. ...

Z1.28 and Z1.59 have received emergency exits on the window behind the back door.

Also, last Friday I caught some Combinos on 70a cricket extras and noticed they are now able to announce stops there too.

East Preston depot has its first ever M>Tram refurbished B2 allocated - B2.2051. This also means every B2 depot except Glenhuntly has an M>Tram B2 allocated. Brunswick: 2078, 2091, 2104 Camberwell: 2017 East Preston: 2051 Essendon: 2025, 2044, 2074 This was a result of E.6012 entering service and D2...

When was this?

Saw one last year at Dufan (amusement park near Jakarta, Indonesia) on a flume ride. Because it was in the middle of the ride, I was unable to take a photo, but it said "Please do not stand and bowed when the boat slide away"

Absolutely fantastic today. Caught an X'trapolis and was actually happy about it, enjoyed tram diversions caused by the Melbourne Cup parade (with Grenda Bus 669), and chased a route 19 Z3 (missed it, but it was worth it because I caught my favourite Comeng). Metro X'trapolis 144M-1372T- 143M -919M-...

One of my best Wednesday afternoons: Metro X'trapolis 8M-1304T-7M-18M- 1309T -17M from Mount Waverley to Kooyong Yarra Trams D1.3517 on route 16 from Kooyong Station to Riversdale Rd Yarra Trams D2.5003 on route 16a from Riversdale Rd to Orrong & Dandenong Rds :mrgreen: Due to late running, it d...

Not sure if this is news but most city stations has have there garbage bins removed from the platforms Apparently it's due to a terrorist threat (worried that terrorists could hide a bomb in a bin). They say it should encourage people to take their rubbish with them, but that is rubbish. It will ju...

On Ch 7 news, reports that a Xtrapolis set is to run on the Frankston line from this Wednesday. It is said to be, ++ Restricted to 80km/h because it takes off too quick for the level crossings?? ++ Must have two train drivers. ++ Shall only do two peak hour runs. Morning or afternoon peak? And do y...

Question for those who saw C.3027 today (note: irrelevant to the PID testing). Was it in PTV livery, or still in Yarra Trams MK4?

Spotted two As running not in service along Plenty Road today, Not very unusual, As often appear on the 86 in peak hour, and rarely at other times. An exception is when something like the Grand Prix is on, then it is mostly A class... As do NOT appear "often" on route 86 at ANY time. An A...

I was riding C.3018 on route 109 today when it shut down due to a defective pantograph.
It was then pushed to Southbank depot by C.3015

An interesting, exciting adventure today: Yarra Trams Z3.162 on route 16 from Chrystobel Cres to Cotham Rd Yarra Trams C.3013 on route 109 from Glenferrie Rd to Beacon Cove Yarra Trams C.3018 on route 109 from Beacon Cove to Graham St (pantograph became defective) Yarra Trams C. 3018 -3015 from Grah...

Z3.135 and C.3017 are now in PTV livery. Will there be extra trains operating to Caulfield for the Glen Waverly line? Ironically just like recent Sandringham line closures where we had trains with a Sandringham destination operate to Caulfield. Will we finally see a Siemens train with 'Glen Waverly'...

Metro X'trapolis 881M-1641T-882M- 25M -1313T-26M from Mount Waverley to Flinders Street Yarra Trams Z1.92 on route 72 from Flinders Street Station to Melbourne Central Station Yarra Trams D1.3527 on route 72 from Melbourne Central Station to Bourke Street Mall Yarra Trams D2.5004 on route 6 from Bou...

Southbank's A2.262 was out and about on Route 57a Showgrounds shuttles this afternoon. Here it is on a short runner to the Queen Victoria Market in between 57a shuttles. During the royal Melb Show, there were quite a lot of As making appearances on 57a this year (which I don't think has happened in...

Today I had the worst tram ride ever, followed directly after by the best tram ride ever :lol: Yes, I've had some fantastic rides, such as As on routes 86 and 96, D2s on Malvern routes, D1s and a C class on 112, etc. but today, my last tram before my train home was absolutely THE BEST :mrgreen: Metr...

Excellent start to the school holidays. I broke my personal best and had 37 rides, as well as SIX Es in one day :D Metro X'trapolis 120M-1360T- 119M -921M-1661T-922M from Mount Waverley to Gardiner Yarra Trams Z1.70 on route 72 from Gardiner Stn to Glenferrie Rd :) Glenhuntly tram loaned to Malvern ...

Today I saw E.6001 heading north along Glenferrie Rd, Hawthorn around 10:30am

There are no C2s left in bumblebee livery. They have all received PTV livery.

Don't know anyone either. I try to keep my interest in public transport to myself too... interfacing school life with enthusiast life is something I fear a bit. Also, school makes it hard to pursue your transport interests :evil:. Ben I'm one of those people who's not the only railfan at my school....

On weekends not all high - capacity trams are required to run the 96. So it won't be unusual to see Des and maybe even an E out on route 12 on weekends Not Es, at least not until there are enough for that. My idea would be to run all Es and C2s on 96, plus a few D2s to fill it up, then put remainin...

It could've been used for a changeover due to a defective A class, or maybe the driver wasn't qualified to drive the A class yet. It's bound to happen from time to time but generally only A class will be used on the route 12 due to the short terminus at Victoria Gardens (approx. 36m in length). I t...

D2.5010 is running the first low-floor route 12 service
