Last week, noted a W, in front of me losing a trolley pole, result, it
limped to wherever it was going with the front trolley pole reversed. Also
noted a Z3 lost the "shoe" off the end of it's panto, result also running
from the wrong end panto reversed. Interesting how they tie it up too, i saw
two windows open, and ropes hanging in and tied to the handrails. This tram
was running and in passenger service. Two photoworthy sightings, pity i
didn't have the camera on both occasions, i'll carry it around more often
now methinks.
Michael.
