Yeah as a person that grew up, and still live in Adelaide, I remember them well, Yes I agree they were nice to look at and had the bygone feel about them, but, at the same time, for me, I felt realy unsafe everytime I gone on them, with rattleing sound, jerking left and right, and made mostly of wood.
London area - I was in Sheffield in April; I wanted to film 'today' scences of places I filmed when Supertram opened in 1994. Alas delays and gaps in the service saw me running out of time, but I hope to try again in 2011 and then uplift it all to youtube.
How spacious those trams. And from the inside the same impression as the famous Peter Witt -streetcars in Milan. I mean the beautiful electromechanic sounds and the interior is clean and well polished !.

nice video, thumbs up!
Were all of these trams replaced by new vehicles or are there still some in service?

@Betamas a few remain but I think only for special events - maybe someone from Adelaide will know more.

@citytransportinfo although there is still one or two at the Glengowrie depot, they are no longer in service.

@diesfie Well they date from the same era as Milan's Peter Witts.
Its a shame that San Francisco did not take any of the discarded trams in the same way that they have been buying Peter Witts.

Thank you for this great footage - 19 years is not that long ago, but it looks like a view far back in technical history - 5 Stars from me
