Let me explain what I know about controls on newer trams. Fisrt of all, left hand controllers and right hand brake handles are not generally used in newer trams, they've generally been replaced by a single controller that does both functions, often known as a traction/braking controller. This means that foot operated gongs are long gone, replaced by modern pushbutton counterparts. Many modern trams have supplamentary horns. Modern trams do have some sort of deadman's control, but its main intetion is to keep the driver's hand on the controller. Vigilance control is still not generaly used on trams but deadman's vigilance devices are used on the Melbourne variant of the Citadis and has been retrofitted to the Melbourne Combinos and most of Melbourne's remaning W class trams.Myrtone (the strict Australian wikipedian)(talk)


What you say sounds good to put in the article - although I'm qualified to drive old style trams I know little about modern trams' controls.

[edit] Caption of aerial shot of Brisbane

Your comment on the caption of the aerial shot of Brisbane was inappropriately addressed to me. The caption has absolutely nothing to do with me. The photo has nothing to do with me. I did not take it. I did nothing more than to reinstate the caption which was originally supplied by the photgrapher, which I felt was the right thing to do. It should have been the photographer's perogative to change the caption.

I feel that if you are going to address somebody personally, the least you could do is to address the correct person, and to do it privately. Figaro 10:18, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suburb Box

Hi Paddington62, thankyou for the kind words about the suburb box. In answer to your question, you need to change the "Here" parameter. For instance, on Fitzgibbon, Queensland, we have:

{{BrisSuburbBox | LGA=[[City of Brisbane]] | Northwest=[[Bald Hills, Queensland|Bald Hills]] | North=[[Bracken Ridge, Queensland|Bracken Ridge]] | Northeast=[[Deagon, Queensland|Deagon]] | West=[[Carseldine, Queensland|Carseldine]] | Here=[[Fitzgibbon, Queensland|Fitzgibbon]] | East=[[Taigum, Queensland|Taigum]] | Southwest=[[Aspley, Queensland|Aspley]] | South=[[Zillmere, Queensland|Zillmere]] | Southeast=[[Taigum, Queensland|Taigum]] }}

If you change the reference "Fitzgibbon", you get whatever suburb you are trying to refer it to (as well as filling in the middle panel in the diagram). Drop me a line if you have any questions or suggestions for improvements =)
