While track can be poor and look dangerous, I don't believe there is any that is unsafe. Of course the system should be expanding and over thirty year old trams should be long gone. I expect money will flow better once the tender is decided.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767022.post-86937961130114128562009-01-27T21:39:00.000+11:002009-01-27T21:39:00.000+11:00Thanks for both your comments Damo, good to hear f...Thanks for both your comments Damo, good to hear from someone on the inside. I missed the news tonight, but I was surprised not to hear anything about the bridge on the radio this morning or read about it on the news websites.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03896364165245209764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767022.post-27414306827142858522009-01-27T21:27:00.000+11:002009-01-27T21:27:00.000+11:00Again had this URL sent to me to check out.Ben, on...Again had this URL sent to me to check out.<BR/><BR/>Ben, once again like I said to your last CHL post, thanks for your positive words. Being one of those with a major involvement in this project it is good to see the rare piece of positive feedback on the internet.<BR/><BR/>Interesting to note that at least both channels ABC and 7 reported Kosky boarding a train at CHL today, did either mention the new railway track/bridge??? NO!Damohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945950480517035222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767022.post-68238118757053804282009-01-25T21:23:00.000+11:002009-01-25T21:23:00.000+11:00Oh yeah, I forgot about inflating the budget, prob...Oh yeah, I forgot about inflating the budget, probably. Would go a long way to explain the costs of things in the recent transport plan. Andrew, do you really think the trams are adequately funded?<BR/><BR/><BR/>I look forward to the post Reuben.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03896364165245209764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767022.post-56751837501030446192009-01-25T11:42:00.000+11:002009-01-25T11:42:00.000+11:00I was there yesterday and took many photos that I ...I was there yesterday and took many photos that I will post about. It seems the project is reaching its climax; they have those diesel work engines on the newly made tracks stabilizing everything and judging by Connex's announcements, the actual trackwork should be done by Tuesday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767022.post-57528739904655487752009-01-25T08:59:00.000+11:002009-01-25T08:59:00.000+11:00Agree about early completion time.......and no dou...Agree about early completion time.......and no doubt under budget?
