In aus.rail, on 25 Apr 2001, Wilco announced:

I don't know when Yarra Trams was notifyed of the car part 
closure, but since the public knew a couple of days beforehand, 
even if they didn't know before then it should have been enough 
time to organise extra trams.  Therefore it was yarra Trams 
fault for not being able to organise themselves...

All the rail fans and greenies urging people to leave their cars 
at home and take public transport, and when something like this 
happens and they have to, Yarra Trams essentially says "um, 
you'd be better off taking your car - we can't actually cope if 
you don't...".
