One of the best tram rides of my life was in 2006 on a night run to and
from Glenelg in an H type tram.

The 24 minute trip was fast - so fast that when a (rare) passenger
showed up at one of the reserved track stops the tram overshot the stop 
and the driver had to back up to allow the passenger to board.
