MrAndrewDOk #Melbourne, What's with the gaps in #tram class letters.
We had W/SW class trams, skipped X & Y and moved straight to Z class.
After the Z's came A, B, C, D, E class trams.
But next up are G class.
On behalf of X, Y and F - what's going on?
Tim Richards@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. :)
@MrAndrewD Interestingly there were F-class Melbourne trams about a century ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-class_Melbourne_tram
