RE: [TramsDownUnder] Parramatta

Nice Pics, Mal.

I need to ask though, why do the painters put the words "Tram Only" in the -
what seems to me - the incorrect order. The first word the tram driver sees is
"ONLY".
The next word is "TRAM".

Would it be better to have the words in the reverse order - first word is
TRAM, the next is ONLY.

I notice that wrong order thing on bus lanes as well, so that a driver sees
"ONLY LANE BUS" instead of "BUS LANE ONLY".

OR, am I being too pedantic.

Some more pics from my visit to Parramatta last Saturday.

The Carlingford terminus is unassuming and a bit hidden from local roads and
shops. Just south of the terminus the track goes single for a few 10s of
metres to pass under Pennant Hills Rd bridge.

The depot is quite a long way (around 800 metre) along what will become the
new line to the Olympic Park.

A sign inside the depot caught my attention. The authorities clearly like to
still call their trams trains running on railways and their risk appetite is a
bit low when they think that 6 metres (standard overhead height for trams) is
'low clearance'.
