Tram Shortage; Was: Batman Ave. Trams Finished

[PCCSTREETCAR@webtv.net (John Engleman)]

Let's see now,  David Langley writes that there is a severe tram
shortage existing in Melbourne, saying that, "They are very short of
cars during the peaks".   The new #70 line will need at least 4 or 5
more cars on its' new, longer route. And any service improvements on any
line (OK, so that only is wishful thinking) will only make the shortage
more severe.    But  there are a good number of stored Ws at Glen
Huntley, even more of them stupidly packed away at Preston Workshops,
and many dozens more (including some Z1s & Z2s) packed away at Newport.
Now let's see if any of these things might go together:  Tram Shortage -
Missed Trips and Runs - Dozens of Trams Uselessly In Storage - Common
Sense - Melbourne - Victorian Politics - National Trust.  Nope!  Nothing
in common at all, except business as usual.
