Hi Tony,
The simple answer is that I don't know, but what I do know is that after
the contract was awarded in Victoria there was an extensive design
review program involving hundreds of people (including me) visiting the
mock-up and giving feedback. Others included people with various access
issues including a friend who uses crutches.
I don't know what changes were made after that process - there is no
obvious changes in recent renders of the tram appearance.
After the issues with buying 'off the shelf' C and D class trams
Victoria is rightly careful.
Mal Rowe - looking forward to a ride and hoping that I find the G as
good as the B has been
