Very enjoyable ride. Haven't done that trip since l was a kid as I've been living in Queensland for the last 30 years so thanks for taking the time to do it and for keeping the interest by editing all the traffic lights and tram stops
Hope you like it there. Can get a bit hot in summer. Years ago there were plans for various extensions here and there, but after a few changes of government, I think they all became forgotten.
@@tressteleg1 Me too , I'm moving to Stirling, in the Hills , right on the mainline at Mt' Lofty Station. Only 15mins to the city and 5 deg cooler, but low humidity which will be great! Lets hope the future will reignite light rail in cities? Gregg😉
To both of you, I think it was Labor around the time that botanical and entertainment lines were built that others were also proposed. Then the liberals got in and killed it, and Labor has never revived.
@peterl1964 generally, yes, but in NSW it was Labor who always was anti-tram but now they seem to be supporting continuing of the Parramatta Light Rail project.
Awesome video mate i was wondering sorry I'm saying the same question but if you can could you film Keon park level crossing removal works on Mernda line and trains are now running on new city bound rail bridge and trains running on Mernda bound below ground and a lot works happening and they staring to build new Keon park elevated station and finished by spring this year😊
@@hassansayyab1194 it’s not your fault. I don’t expect people to remember when I come to Melbourne, but if you happen to remember in the future, it’s any time from mid January into March. We will just have to see what my driver ends up with.
@@hassansayyab1194 What I got from my driver is more than a month old from today, so any changes since then will be on whatever I get from him next year.
I suspect the problem lies with the transport operators. They seem to take all their information from Melbourne which is not exactly the best in the world and has no priority at all, just some token gestures which help trams at a limited number of locations. I suspect that the government has never been asked for help in this regard.
@@peterausfranken Ha ha! I suppose that you know that Aldi has been here for quite a while but the market share is still only about 10%. There is none really convenient to me and as some products I like are big brand names and Aldi stocks home brand type stuff, I have no need for them.
@@tressteleg1 I know Aldi is in Australia and also in a lot of other countries. Here in germany Aldi is the number one in discount Supermarket. They have a lot of home Brands. The most of the come from the same place as the big brands and have the same quality but are much cheeper. In Europa there ist a producation Code with 8 numbers, and with a little help from Google you can find out were these home brands come from.

@@cristos58 👍😊 glad you like the removal of stationary times!
Thanks for the ride in my soon to be new home city! I hope they extend the tram network in the years to come...?
Cheers Gregg.

Liberal the undertaker for tram services

11:26 the driver waved at the kid which was pretty nice 😊
Not unusual here. I occasionally capture this, by chance.
Nice ride! Good speed on private right of way. Thanks tressteleg1👍💚
Yes, but hopeless on street sections.
Nice one this is similar to royal Adelaide hospital to glenelg but this time backwards
Obviously!

You should have asked me a few weeks ago when I was in cold Melbourne.
@@tressteleg1 Sorry I was forgot to tell you so could you if you can film Keon park level crossing removal works on Mernda line 😊

@@tressteleg1 Ok thanks for that hopefully can’t wait😊👍

Good, but camera is focussed on tram interior.
I was using a GoPro camera (which subsequently died!) and essentially there is no control over the field of vision without losing a lot of sharpness.
@@tressteleg1 yr stuff is great!
@@nearlyatrainspotter2102 😊👍
Three changes of Government and they still haven't managed traffic light priority for the trams.....

Is this Citadis or Bombardier cuz this sounds weird
At one point in the video, he says it is a Citadis.
True. The Bombardier trams are hopeless for the camera.
@@tressteleg1 so that is a citaids?
Yes, as seen by a GoPro which has since died for no reason. Crap Rubbish!
@@tressteleg1so you’re saying the camera you’re using in this video is rubbish?
Black Forest? I didn't know that Adelaide was in germany 😂
Go to the Barossa Valley, I think it is, and you will find a lot of Germany there as early winemakers were from Germany.
@@tressteleg1 Yes i know. The best place to buy australian Wine in germany is Aldi 😉
