 Hasnt Vline finally fitted carbon strips to their EMU pans like every one
else seems to do ?.
 I would have thought that by now, enough of the fleet would be fitted with
the carbon strips that seperate lubrication of the wires would no longer be
needed.

 Or have the concervatives struck, and metal contact pans repearing on the
EMU fleet. ?

 As far as I know Sydney has never had a 'overhead greaser' and has run
carbon contact pans from the start. Most other systems seem to run carbon
contact pans as well.
