I'm writing at the State Library of Victoria today. Good day to be inside, looks a bit bleak and wintry out there. Other than the Reece's Pieces tram, of course.

🇦🇺 Stage 3 of the Gold Coast Light Rail in #Queensland, #Australia, has entered passenger service, extending the line by 6.7 km to reach a total network length of 27 km. The extension connects Helensvale through to Burleigh Heads and introduces eight new stations, bringing the total number of stops across the system to 27.
Alstom designed, supplied, and commissioned the core rail systems for the alignment, including digital signalling, telecommunications, and control infrastructure linked to an upgraded Operational Control Centre and a new Disaster Recovery Centre. The expansion adds five new Alstom Flexity 2 #trams to the network, bringing the total operating fleet to 23 vehicles, all built in #Vienna and maintained locally by Alstom. Delivered as part of the GoldlinQ consortium for the Queensland Government, the project was jointly funded by Australian, Queensland, and local governments.

Ah bah je viens d’apprendre que le Tramway Français Standard (TFS) ne roule plus sur le T1 d’Île-de-France : sa dernière circulation était le 6 mars 2026. Je ne l’ai pas beaucoup emprunté, mais j’aime beaucoup le bruit qu’il fait à l’accélération…
J’avais pris cette photo il y a 2 ans, à Gennevilliers.
Je l’avais pris à Nantes une fois. Là-bas aussi, leurs jours sont comptés. Circulent-ils encore aujourd’hui ?

Just passed a new G-class tram on the 59 route. No passengers aboard this time.

BTW, I looked at the tramTRACKER app as the new G-class tram approached, and they have indeed uploaded a new image for that class of tram. :)

About 11.30am @NarrelleMHarris and I were sitting in a cafe when I realised the first operational low-floor G-class tram was heading our direction on route 59. So we nipped up to the Queen Vic Market to meet it, then caught it back to the CBD.
It was quite crowded (90% normal passengers, 10% gunzels at a guess), so it was hard to have a good look at the layout. There seem to be a lot of low-level seating though, and it was very smooth running. I like the timber touches on the seating too.
These new trams will gradually replace older high-floor trams on the 59, 57, and 82 routes. Can't come soon enough! We need a lot more low-floor trams along Elizabeth Street for those with mobility challenges.

Am Tag kam es erneut zu Störungen im #ÖPNV. Durch geschmolzene #Fugenmasse am Friedrich-List-Platz mussten einige #Trams umgeleitet werden. Laut LVB-Pressesprecher Marc Backhaus wurden allerdings keine Trams beschädigt. Aktuell gibt es wegen der Hitze nur noch Einschränkungen auf der Buslinie 70.

I think the 11 tram through Fitzroy must be the most f*cked up of all the routes reliability-wise. Every time I leave the Fitzroy Library on Thursday arvo I get a result like this - or more likely a tram in 1 minute (too soon to catch) followed by a 17-minute wait.

The first passenger run of the new G class tram today. And what a morning!
Starting at Essendon Depot there was a media conference and gathering of politicians, project staff, drivers and many others to celebrate the big day.
The first new tram class for Melbourne since the E class, these medium capacity trams will initially run on the route 59, followed by the 57 and 82.
We rode it down to Flinders Street before it turned back to head up to Essendon Depot. It performed admirably and will be a great addition to the network.

I should point out that I'm the sort of person who is easy amused by spotting an unfamiliar tram.

G-class tram! I spotted one of the new fleet of low-floor trams undergoing testing on Elizabeth Street. Hopefully they'll soon be taking passengers.

Automated message on the tram just now asking people not to stand in the doorways, "... move into the main saloon as soon as possible". 'Saloon'??? That sounds strange. I have never heard a tram carriage called a 'saloon' by anyone.

While I'm at it, here are a couple of Melbourne pics from yesterday evening, just after sunset. A certain crispness to the light, and those colours stand out.

It looks like Victoria St will be closed a long time. If you use trams 12, 109 and 78 you may be affected. Victoria St trams are not running between Victoria Gardens and Hoddle St. The no. 78 is not running between Swan and Victoria streets.
Ten Richmond businesses affected by fire after shop ramming in Victoria St, Richmond.
