At what has been dubbed the grand final for tram enthusiasts, Melbourne’s Tramaroos suffered a disappointing campaign at this year’s European TramDriver Championship. Despite presiding over one of the world’s largest tram networks, the Australian team secured only the second-lowest placement, finishing just ahead of London.
The competition took place in Warsaw on Saturday and featured 26 teams from around the globe. Participants were tasked with completing a series of challenging exercises designed to mirror the daily responsibilities of tram operators, though the degree to which each drill reflected real-world scenarios varied.
Wait, Melbourne has one of the largest tram networks and they come second-to-last? I’m genuinely confused by those results.
Just beats London. That’s a record we probably didn’t need to set internationally.
