Do you know if they modified the kerb or adjusted the "saggy" thingo on the trams?

They took the expensive solution this time. Rather then adjust the lifeguard, they have removed about a metre or two of the median strip. They have already began marking out to a new alignment to suit the H class and should be done in a week or so (at a guess).

H Types 367 & 351 made the run safely to City-West and back. Clearances measurements were made along the way and they shunted into both sides of City-West.

Here they are outside Adelaide railway station, headed west

In the City-West terminus


In King William St on the way home. Success !

Excellent pics there BillD. Thanks.

Cheers

Love those pics BillD. I saw this tram on the way home and thought that they might have been doing some more testing. Should have followed it along the track.

wow looks good... but at the same time kinda wierd.

Love those pics! Thanks Bill!

its proberly been asked before but why is there that single track section under the morpett street bridge?

I had a feeling that you would have been on site for this Bill, thanks greatly for the shots. If I had found out on Railpage even half an hour earlier then I did, I would have been there. Once I again, I thankyou greatly.

The reason why the single track section exists is to provide a turning lane to the Convention Centre and also to provide a crossover before the terminus. It was originally thought that the single track section was because of bridge clearances and the track currently goes under the highest part of the bridge.

That's a fantastic shot of Beehive Corner, by the way.

Was about to say the same thing, looks very "cosmopolitan", sorry about the wanky word, but it does : ).. that little eatery on rundle mall looks reasonable busy for a thursday night too..

excellent shots bill!

Well done Bill and thanks! You certainly know what you're doing with night time photography! Excellent!
