[edit] M-T-M EMU?
the terms EMU and M-T-M should be spelled out or explained, or wiki linked somewhere else. While train buffs might know what these terms mean, the average lay person wouldn't have a clue. And while a Melbournian who is familiar with the tran system might be able to work out what M-T-M means, it shouldn't be assumed that everyone who reads teh article is a Melbournian.

- It should be better now that I've cleared up the jargon. (And Melburnian doesn't have an "o" in it, but I won't pounce on you for it this time :P) TPK 13:30, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

- There was still a dead link to 'M-T-M', which could not justify an article by itself, but I've now put an explanation in Railways in Melbourne#Trains and linked to that. Philip J. Rayment 09:59, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Speculation?
A recent edit by an anonymous user added a paragraph which reads: Siemens trains have brought speculation to Melbourne because of the certain charecteristics it has to it's other Melbourne train counterparts. Can somebody explain what this means exactly? What sort of speculation has the train brought to the city of Melbourne? Does it mean to say that it has created speculation about the future of the train network? or train services? or the rolling stock used? I'm sorry to keep raising questions, but I don't understand.

[edit] 6-car operation
I've removed the latest edit about 6-car operation. Apart from being in the wrong place (i.e. not under the heading of braking issues), it said that the 6-car operation was introduced since the trains were returned to service; it was actually introduced in early January. It gave the impression that this would be permanent; it's not, it's only until the problem has been resolved. And finally, the article already said that the trains were restricted to 6-car operation.
