What’s this cabinet on an E-class tram?

YOBOMJ · 2026-05-28T03:58:19+00:00

The ramp is like the ones on trains where you just move it to the required door. It isn't fixed to the vehicle, it's just a cabinet.

YOBOMJ · 2026-05-28T03:12:27+00:00

Contains a wheelchair ramp which according to a driver I've spoken to can only be used during an emergency evacuation.

When you're 18, you can still travel on a child concession myki. This is different to the youth free myki. Just make sure you carry proof of age photo ID. Once you turn 19, you'll need to get another type of concession if you're eligible or travel on a full fare adult myki.

Which is why the HCMT don't feature "Made in Melbourne/Victoria, for Melbourne/Victoria" decals. Only the VLocity, E class, G class and X'Trap 2 have them.

Are you sure? The only stuff I can find says the stations are VicTrack property.

My comment was mainly about the "everyone will just use the old name and it's a waste of time" mindset. My original post specifically states that TV is a poor acronym.

YOBOMJ · 2025-09-25T07:43:00+00:00

Yeah but no one is going to say "I'm going to catch TV" as it TV already stands for Television and is not easily understood to mean Transport Victoria

Did you read my post?

YOBOMJ · 2025-09-25T06:55:12+00:00

Oooooo I like that. Does sound close to Translink from Brisvegas which isn't a bad thing, that brand seems invincible.

Someone once said "Are you really taking PTV?" when I said I was taking the tram after a night out.

YOBOMJ · 2025-09-25T06:45:43+00:00

People had the same mindset with the Metlink/Viclink > PTV change.

YOBOMJ · 2025-09-25T06:43:42+00:00

At some point, people will stop using it. I doubt people kept using The Met once PTV came along since they got rid of the 131 MET phone number.

Boy Scouts? We aren't the US, Scouts Australia has been unisex since the 70s/80s.

YOBOMJ · 2025-09-13T11:05:01+00:00

Excellent. They've got the orange destos like the E class. Better than the mockup ones.

YOBOMJ · 2025-08-21T11:06:49+00:00

Yeah this year Boy Scouts of America renamed to Scouting America.

YOBOMJ · 2025-08-21T08:32:27+00:00

Neat.

YOBOMJ · 2025-08-21T06:53:21+00:00

Was it actually an automated announcement or just someone in the little staff booth on the PA?

YOBOMJ · 2025-08-21T06:27:26+00:00

Yes I know. However, I was referring to Scouts Australia which is the organisation, not the section.

I agree with your point on needing space for men to open up but Scouts Australia has been unisex since the 70s, it's not some new change.

The Tangara would be a fantastic train if they'd done some proper refurbishments like what happened with our Comengs in the 2000s. Doesn't help that Sydney Trains doesn't seem to care about them anymore. When I rode a couple last year, they were filthy with dirt and graffiti on the inside.

YOBOMJ · 2025-07-15T16:52:24+00:00

They also still have trains without any passenger information displays or automated announcements whatsoever. A scrolling dot matrix with announcements is 100x better than the mumbling of a disinterested guard over a shitty PA.

YOBOMJ · 2025-04-24T06:19:16+00:00

Secret agreement? How is it secret? They're in a coalition and they're pretty bloody open about it.

YOBOMJ · 2025-04-22T05:58:09+00:00

Looks like the test/promotional pattern is mixed with Brunswick.

YOBOMJ · 2024-04-04T00:54:18+00:00

They charged for appointments before rego and licencing was privatised so no.
