	Definition of Tram (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Trams are distinguished from other forms of railway systems in that they travel along tracks laid down in the right-of-way of city streets, usually on track reserved for the tram system.
		Modern trams generally use overhead electric cables, from which they draw current through a pantograph, a bow collector (less commonly) or a trolley pole (the first is most common and used on most new tram designs).
		In Melbourne, in addition to newer types of trams in use such as the Citadis and the Combino, as well as middle age B, A and Z class trams, older W-class trams remain in service and are a popular tourist attraction.

		I would love to use a new tram with a beautiful wooden interior and openable windows, rather than a new tram which is the same as all the rest.
		The new trams for Adelaide are not the cheapest on offer and maybe the body styling is not that great but its not the worse looking modern tram.
		Maybe I am not as up to scratch on the trams as you but so what, from what I have read and seen they seem to be coping although not as good as trams like the A's wich I think are the best (non articulated) modern tram in Australia.

	Adelaide Light Rail Tramway Development
		Thus, as Adelaide's city leadership and transport officials placed their bets on "BRT", the city's venerable suburban electric tramway to Glenelg – a 10.8-km (6.7-mile) vestige of the electric street railway and interurban era – was seemingly regarded as an artifact slowly decaying toward extinction.
		Each H-type tram is 16.5 meters (54.4 feet) in length and has the capacity to carry a total of 94 passengers (64 seated and standing room for another 30).
		I think that the real message of the modernisation and extension of the Glenelg line is that it is another case of a city with BRT experience opting for new or extended LRT rather than an extension of the BRT.
