From futuristic to retro - just transferred at Footscray from shiny new train to Z-class tram.
Seems so much quicker getting to Footscray via the new Metro Tunnel. Not having to go round the city loop saves time, at least psychologically. :)

From happier times travelling in the USA. Love the sound of the cables being hauled constantly beneath the street.

@MrAndrewD The X and Y-class trams did exist, but have long been retired:

The assumption re the missing F-class is that politicians are worried that people would make rude jokes about it using the F-word. :)
🇫🇷 Ce soir, quelques photos de la "Thüringer Waldbahn" un tramway vicinal qui relie Gotha-Hbf à Bad Tabarz et son antenne de Waltershausen-Bahnhof à Waltershausen-Gleisdreieck.
En septembre 2002, les tramways de fabrication tchèque Tatra étaient omniprésents aidés par quelques rames Duewag rachetées d'occasion à des réseaux ouest-allemands.
Bonne soirée! 👋 🙂
