While in the city (Sydney that is) today I caught a silver DD Cityrail
train which had a single arm (Tangara like) pantograph as opposed to
the normal scissor type panto. I didn't get the set number but it
looked like only one of the cars in the set had this type of panto.

Anyone know why this set has a different type of panto? Also from a
technical point of view what is the difference between a single arm
and scissor pantos????
