  The last few times I have been in Sydney and caught the SLR their
were conductors on the trams. They only appeared to be onboard
Casino-Haymarket or Capitol Square. I assume the anouncment means they
will be permament central-Wentworth Park (and beyond).

Also any word on how many extra trams will be required to head futher
