It's an elegantly simple design, I was impressed!
By the way, there is also a LCD display in the cab which showed
something like "Next point Spencer & Collins" (this was travelling
towards Spencer St along Collins St) ... is this an indicator of the
next "turnout/divergence" or some indication on the next "check point"
or "way point" in the timetable?
Cheers,
