That's a good question.

In Melbourne all the physical infra-structure is owned (or leased) by
the state government via VicTrack.  They even own the brand name of
Yarra Trams.

The franchise agreement includes maintenance requirements on rolling
stock and infrastructure.  A new franchise agreement (MR5) comes into
force on Sunday 1st of December.

I think that only the Siemens fleet is (was?) leased.

Mal Rowe - who will read the detail with interrst.
