Almost certainly CAF will suggest retro fitting the intermediate
stations on the 'wirefree' sections with opportunity charging equipment
like they supplied for the Westmead Terminus. At our expense of course.
The 'KISS' method of stringing up overhead will lead to howls of
defiling a heritage precinct with 'ugly wires'. (Not that the road past
Westmead hospital could be by any stretch of the imagination be an
'architecturally sensitive' location.
They do have a shunting tractor for the depot and a Unimog road-rail
that is supposed to be able to tow a crippled tram back.
