At this point in time it is no to any plans for trams ijn Sydney. From contact I have over there is Labour has no plan for it & if Liberals get in next time they will scrap any plan for trams. The Libs want more buses not trams

@JBofBrisbane and one of the biggest in the world, but its shear size is what killed it, at the time, if they had given it just 10 to 15 more years would have sorted it self out with all the new, higher capacity trams

@77Aussie they have already started planning it, i hope i can be a part of it as a civil engineer

@darrell190967 - Sydney had the biggest tram network in Australia at one time, but it was all abandoned by about 1961.

@GayBoyRunning - Main lines would need to be electrified at 25,000 Volts AC, to keep infrastructure costs down. Main factor against it is that it is still cheaper to buy diesel fuel than it is to build and maintain overhead wiring, and supply electricity.
