What is the HI TECH Yarra Trams Survey Spy Tram?

This week Schony747 features the high tech Yarra Trams Survey Tram here in Melbourne. Every 6 months the tram runs around at night collecting valuable track, overhead and platform data which is then used to prioritise repairs and upgrades across the worlds biggest operational tram network. B2 2096 tram is always used. The tram is transformed from a regular tram carrying passengers to a high tech office with a few million dollars worth of equipment on board. It's really cool stuff and I hope you enjoy it.

Have a great week - Brenden S.

Yarra Trams should give 2096 a cool yellow and black colour scheme so it looks like a real maintenance vehicle. And it will also look cool on a B Class too.

1:42 *WHAT?* B2 not wearing pyjamas and "coming down the stairs" with B1? LOL😁

This seems pretty cool and something that would be very useful. And it's great to see a tram video again. It feels like it's been ages. Would love more tram content again please.

A Survey "Spy" tram? Seeing the driver at the controls (1:00) immediately blows away my mind's view of the driver wearing a black coat and a black Trilby hat and acting furtively at the controls! LOL😁

That would be a pretty cool run, I imagine.

Great video and I hope they don’t use 2 trams and if so where is B1🤣

[timeimp]

Why not just make it permanent and run it once week to detect the defects before there's another whoopsie-daisy during rush hour?

[thomasmatthewharris]

So, it basically has a similar function to IEV100

Is 2096 permanently set up like this or is it just temporary?
