Have they tested them through the city yet?

Good. Here's hoping that there's a ticket validator at each.

And more stop-request buttons!

Just saw the new tram go for a test run, past stop 13 heading east. It wasn't in the depot as far as I could see when we went past on the next tram in service, so possible it continued on further into the city. It certainly looked nice running. It's also noticeably quieter than the Flexitys.

I was at the Dublin tonight. The new tram pulled up into Moseley Sqaure, for about half an hour. I screamed in excitement. Many did not understand what I was excited about.

Quieter? Any more quiet and they'll absorb sound.

Just one of those things - if you're not interested, you're NOT interested. But thanks to you guys and personal interest, these trams are somewhat of an event. These trams would create quite a presence in Moseley Sq - just big enough to take them????

I'm sure the majority of people who visit this site would have acted the same Shuz, including myself

.

I never catch the tram as I'm right along the Noarlunga line, but for the sex on wheels that is these new trams, a test ride wouldn't hurt.
