[TramsDownUnder] Re: G class order and internal view

Thank you Mal. Always good to see a bit of technical information coming through.

Would be interested to know if the aisle is wider through the truck on the centre module. That's the primary reason for compromising on fixed trucks, so will be interesting to see if Altsom has followed through on that.

The attached cut away view is from a PTV brochure and shows the general
internal layout of the G class trams for Melbourne.

I have had it confirmed that the delivery date for the first few G class
cars will be around the end of the year when they will start testing
from Maidstone.

I have also had confirmation that there are options in the contract for
three extensions of 60 more cars each - giving the potential total of
180 more G class trams.

Those extensions will provide an option to go for the 5 section version
and other improvements identified once the first group enter service.

See: https://tinyurl.com/mwsxs7n8 for the 5 section general arrangement

Mal Rowe - looking forward to a ride.
