What I don't get is why can't they run things like this, doorless Ws as
well as other Melbourne vintage trams on the city circle route with
conductors (for safety). If they had of arranged something like this
instead of the reduced service then I think people would like it.
There was also once a Bendigo 'Talking' Tram on the city circle route.
They could have borrowed that again.
