Members of the Shed visited the Tram depot at Mitchell for a tour. Tony Burns gives this report:

We had the royal dozen of us but I have to admit that list of attendees has got lost. We arrived at 10.15 and got into hi-vis vests. Had 2 guides who took us through – even into main viewing room. Cameras everywhere, all over the system and at all stations. We left about 11.45 but decided to have lunch at Raiders Club in Weston. Finished up back at the Shed around 2.45. All had a great day, even Mr Anti-rail himself, Lindsey. He complained the whole time but finally admitted that he thought it was a good outing! So we finally got through to him and hope to see him on one of the trains going from Woden to Civic, when completed.

The group had a behind-the-scenes look in our maintenance hall, Operations Control Centre and some of the vehicles and equipment we use to keep our services running smoothly. It was rewarding for our staff to showcase their workspace with such an enthusiastic group. To read more visit: https://bit.ly/3zG7eE3
