Re: City Circle 'W' s back in service.

["William Pearce" <ben_issacs@optusnet.com.au>]

    Fellow Travellers,
    Thanks for the comments about mag. track brakes, I know that they have
been around for a long time, but I'm still interested in finding out if
anyone else has had experience of their actual use in traffic and any
effects that they have had on passengers. Surely, someone here in Melb. has
been on a Z, an A or a B when these brakes have been used!

Regards,

Bill.
