Re: New Melbourne trams have fewer seats than the old ones but they're longer!

All new trams in Germany I´d ever saw had 2+2 sittings. Here i Mannheim we have
new Adtranz trams and new Variotrams very similar to the Sydney trams. They all
have a 2+2 sitting. The network in my Area is a 1000mm network, with 4
tramcompanies in 3 large cities. The longes Tramline is about 35 km and we have
a circeline  which connected  the towns of Mannheim, Heidelberg, Weinheim and
Viernheim who has a lenght of 50 km´s
Sorry for the bad English.

p.s. our local powerstation is working with the cheap australian coal, not with
the expensive German coal.
