Nice Video. I remember my time as a school child (1970 - 1980). I used the vactions for a tram drive. A route costed 10 cent - that was the time when the aussie dollar was strong! And sorry if my writing in english is not perfect - i live now 36 years in germany.
I’m pleased you liked it and it brought back memories from younger days. Don’t worry about your English mistakes. We don’t laugh at each other’s mistakes like Europeans do when mistakes are said. But I can see a bit of German influence coming through. 😊😊 I don’t think you Drove the tram, as in being a Straßenbahn Fahrer. You were a rider or passenger as in Fahrgaste (more or less!!) 😄
Thanks for saying so. I feel there is nothing worse than watching a video like this and having no idea where the scene was taken, especially if I already am partly familiar with the city or route.
This part of Route 1 is rather the exception than the rule. Few other lines have quiet backstreet running like this. Part 2 due out in a week or 2 is more typical. Check RU-vid tressteleg1 Driver’s View and you should find quite a few more.
That was awesome thanks heaps again mate. The #1 is such a pleasant route, only dodgey stop is Cecil St. How was the turkey that drove his car through the Bourke St stop! I’m fairly familiar with the different unmarked police vehicles that drive through there and but that wasn’t one of them.
I did a series on all the light rails. If you do a RU-vid search for East Brunswick Tram Traffic Priority you should see it. To further your outlook, you might like to look also at Gold Coast, Glenelg, and Dulwich Hill Tram Traffic Priority videos and see which one gives the best service. Also Driver’s View Port Melbourne. Happy viewing. Let me know how you go 😊
But RU-vid has only Route 1 Sth Melbourne Beach to Est Coburg driver views. I can't find any views from Est Coburg to Sth Melbourne Beach. Sorry. I thought they were views from Est Coburg to Sth Melb Beack
Well what about visitors? How many miss the stop named after a shopping centre rather than the 1,000 times more important Flinders St Station? Same with Collin’s St where the Town Hall name is deemed more important than Swanston St with 8 tram routes? Why would ANYONE be looking for the town hall? Only some ‘artistic’ dreamer who never uses public transport could come up with these dopey names.
Happy new year 2019! If you haven't already yet, make sure you visit www.melbournetramsuccess.com for an enjoyable read, gift or souvenir! Stay cool in the heat everyone.
Stupid, I would say. Next Friday’s video, second part of Rt 75 shows that King St is now Melbourne Aquarium. I bet 100 people look for King St for every person looking for the fish tank!
You must be psychic! I am working on that right now for next Friday!!! But it is only the outer part which tram is called the yo-yo from Dandenong Road to the terminus. The city and was covered some time ago in the Route 64
