Re: [TramsDownUnder] Metro services run between Tallawong and Martin Place, and between Martin Place and Central only. You will need to change services at Martin Place

Which is why I posted the Parramatta notice. Down for trackwork while so new? The reason for the recent CSELR closure also included trackwork on curves. It would be interesting to know how the other modern systems compare for downtime, as well as Melbourne. I still think a significant issue is that NSW chose fixed-truck trams for lines that have quite a few twists and turns. Adelaide, Canberra and Gold Coast are as close as you can get to a straight line, so there shouldn't be such issues. Melbourne has lots of twists and turns, but trams with proper bogies. Connect the dots.

It seems to me that the CSELR would be likely to top the list.

Mal Rowe in a city that treats trams as core services, not a sideline.

I don't know why all the interest in rail trackwork disruptions, which I would put on a par with rivet-counting, but, to save multiple posts, here's what we look forward to in March for Sydney commuter train services:

It looks like PTV has similar information for Melbourne:

Perth's is pretty neat:

(who suspects that the M1 metro line has been disconnected from the suburban lines at Sydenham because the two systems cannot technologically run together, not because it's like a tram destruction conspiracy)
