Re: [melb] Yarra Trams Network Observations

Its well and truly overdue, and a good choice for the new trams to
start. Once the new trams arrive, the A-class will replace the Z's on
route 11/112, and those Z's will apparantly go back to Swanston.

Its a shame the extension is going to end in the middle of whitehorse
road instead of at the train station, and its also quite unnecessary to
demolish half of box hill to widen the road in the process.

On the plus side, YT are trying to get tram priority on the whole of
the route (I assume so that they can run the route with the same number
of trams after the extension). If the YT management weren't such rude
bastards, we might even be willing to help them lobby for this.
