I ❤ 🚂🚃🚄🚅🚈🚞🚝 I have a folder on ''transportation'' thank you chou chou chouuuu :)) --------------------------------------- Btw, here's something you may find interesting. :) The name of my country has nothing to do with the interesting and delicious bird ''turkey'', well let me explain. :) Name of my country has always been Turkiye, that is Turk-iye, where the -iye suffix means ''land of/belonging to''... ...just like the Latin suffix -ia in such countries as Latv-ia, Roman-ia, Eston-ia, Austr-ia, Austral-ia etc etc. Another example; decades ago Czechoslovakia Republic changed it's name to Czech Republic and a few years ago changed that to Czechia (that is Czech-ia). Anyways, most likely the Latin -ia suffix was derived from the Turkish version -iye, as Turkish is much much older. Because in old times people of different languages could only pronounce it as their languages allowed them, we got various differences in spelling like Turchia (in Italian), Turquie (in French) and Turkey (in English) all trying to resemble the pronounciation of ''Turk-ia'' thus Turkiye. Mind you this was way BEFORE the animal we currently know as 'turkey'' was found by the europeans when they explored the north americas.... ...they came across the bird and thought it was a specie of the fowl/chicken they had been buying from the country of Turkiye at the time, so they named the bird ''Turkey Fowl'' meaning ''Turkish Chicken''..... ....just like how a dog breed is known as German Shepherd (because it's from Germany), Rhodesian Ridgeback (because it's from Rhodesia), American Bulldog, British Terrier, Greek Harehound etc etc. In time you don't get to call the Greek Harehound as simply as ''Greek''; or you don't call the British Terrier as ''British''; or the German Shepherd as ''German'', but in time the Turkish Fowl started to be called just ''turkey'', and has been going on for hundreds of years. Now in 2023, this is causing confusion, especially when we have people across the world unable to point to their OWN country on the atlas, this ''confusion over the naming'' needed to be corrected. So my country decided to rectify this confusion that has been going on for so long and corrected the name in other languages to Türkiye, which it always was, we basically didn't change the name of our country, we changed the mistake made in the English language. : ) So, there's some tid bit information for you to have a great day, if you read upto this point you have a great night too, ohh just have a wonderfull life. : ) Best wishes. ;)

thank you!

no effense but kinda mid

Yeah absolutely. I was in Japan recently and they had fantastic info screens on every train and bus.. little color screen above every door with a simple map in multiple languages. Made life so much easier.

While I really like the B class not having a low floor is kinda crap for people with disabilities. It does look great though. Too bad the government sold COMENG. Wish they'd held onto it.

​@shraka they are still in service including z3 and a1 and a2 The z3 is planned to be retired in 2026 The A class may be retired 2026 The b2 class I don't know when they will get retired but they will definitely be retired at least after the A class is

@@krisdevos8452 Oh I'm aware - I'm on a Comeng line. Still in service, but the government sold the COMENG company ages ago.

the western suburbs developed much later than the east, pretty much anything west of Maribyrnong was just farmland with St Albans being a country town until the 1950s, which was when the tram network stopped expanding and new development was built for cars and not public transport. They will be getting new trams soon, the new G class tram design was showcased, annoyingly, right after I made this video

As come and go on the 58. The most I've seen in one day is 4.

just thought you might want to know this because ive watched all your adelaide vids, but anyway, the c2 class tram is the same type of tram as the adelaide alstom trams, (the ones with the red cabs) just different cab design

@@revilok08 Oh nice ok

​@@revilok08 The Adelaide trams are also narrower than Melbourne trams - 2.4 vs. 2.65 metres wide. Their Citadis (200-series) trams were purchased from Madrid.

@@msg5507oh, i dindt know that. but they are still based of the same model, the citidas 302

do you remember the number of the tram you worked on?

@@QazzyTransportunfortunately we didn't receive that info, we only got the damaged parts, not the whole tram

Possibly... Not sure which routes I want to do atm

@@QazzyTransportroute 5 and the shuttle tram

75 supremacy

who is this

Z-class trams have run on route 59, if Essendon depot is short vehicles.

think thats the D class

unfortunately not, they will be here until the last of the high floor trams are retired

@@QazzyTransport due for retirement in mid 2030s, if I make it that far!

that's preston depot - it's the biggest tram depot which is also used whenever a tram needs to be repaired, repainted, or have an advertising livery applied. Only E class trams actually go past it in service

my mistake, the 96 runs usually E class but occasionally C2

@@QazzyTransport ah okay thanks for clearing that up! I'm glad somebody is documenting and making content about this stuff, it's very easy for information like this to disappear just because nobody happened to preserve it at the time

@@QazzyTransport when originally leased the C2-class we restricted to the root 96 by the contract, now that the Victorian government owns this class tram, technically could on any route, and has recently been seen on route 109 running shuttles when Spencer Street was closed

when i stop procrastinating

109 tram song cover and music video at 10k subs

im pretty sure they still open

@@QazzyTransport the last door on the left-hand side is permanently locked off, this was done for safety reasons, as a driver cannot see this door when at a stop.

C2 class trams do, but C1s definitely don't

there will hopefully be at least a few that are preserved

I volunteer at the tram museum in Ballarat, maybe we might end up with one@@QazzyTransport

I doubted it, as when offered no one wanted the B1 prototypes, even though Bylands had the step converters lying in field out there.

in Melbourne, tram stops are quite close together and it's common to see a tram skip multiple stops - especially towards the end of the route!

It depends, if it's in the city they will stop every time

never seen either of those on tramdetective nor irl. Im mainly putting trams you see every day on the route, you might occasionally see a B on the 6 or a Z on the 59 but its not a regular occurence

@@QazzyTransport True

Zs and As used to run on the 58 but i havent seen any for a while Never seen a B on the 6

@@QazzyTransport Z is common on 58 but B on 6 and A on 58 are extremely rare might see an A on 58 every Fortnite or so

I agree. There will be a few days with As on 58 and then none for a few weeks. I saw an A on route 58 last week. Bs on route 6 aren't that unusual.

@@JamesJackson. Z's & A's on RT58 is easy as there are standard at Essendon & Southbank. But a B-class on rt6 but just about be once in a lifetime now, as it is run from Malvern, and I only have D1 & Z class rolling stock.

Z, A, B class trams can run in revenue service on any route in Melbourne.

doesn't exist yet - i guess i could've made a segment mentioning it but we just have very little info and only one render

G Class trams are planed to start at 2025 and there are plans for 2 types. A short one and a little longer type. The short types will replace the Z and A Class on routes with not so many traffic.

@@peterausfranken the G-class tram, the 25 m vehicle will be standard, there is only a possibility that they will order a longer vehicle in future, but the may to put on routes like the 75 where there is long distances to travel and minimal interaction with other vehicles.

theres a pretty good video about the train types already by taitset

They will be retired in 2026

what?
