This is the first time I have seen the design of the track.

I am not sure this is sustainable, like an obsolete fun park.

Some say its too slow but is it designed to be effective.

Looking at the map it goes from Circular Quay to Juniors Kingsford and Randwick.

It looks like a line rather than a network. I cannot see how this can be effective.

For example Curculay key goes nowhere so why tram to it. Randwick goes nowhere so where is the value in that, like Kingsford.

Looking at this a series of Block routes that can overlap against the grain of the train tracks would seem more effective but you have the underground train loop anyway in central Sydney.

This looks like a massive embarrassment of incompetence and grand standing.

Looks like some overseers have really blown it. Now I see how the trams in Canberra will be a farce as well but at least they do not have trains to compete with.

It might have been better putting a tram loop in North Sydney and Parramatta initially.

whaddaya mean Randwick goes no where..?

there's the cricket ground SCG & Allianz stadium up the road.. there's the racecourse and Prince of Wales..
down the road is Coogee.

Kingsford has nothing except Rabbitohs..
