    Why did also close down civic? If they didn't, we can still go to civic museum by train

      It's a polarising argument. Everyone was against it when the idea was first floated but a number of locals I've spoken to over the years have seen the tram as a good idea for the town and you'll also have the people who will always be against the move regardless.

    interesting fact by the time the train got to civic you wouldn't be able to find a seat thats how busy the train line was but by 2012 the NSW government declared the line redundant as the newcastle business chamber pushed to have the line removed and they got their wish

      Interesting isn't it. Never let actual figures get in the way of a dodgy proposal. I saw the tram a few years ago and was impressed with the operation. I don't know how much difference the tram has made to Central Newcastle.

    Great video! It is such a shame that they replaced the rail corridor with light rail, the trams are slow and inconvenient

      Schony747 oh cool! Oddly enough, I recently have been on a train ride and there were no rude people or teenagers. Although when I went on the tram, there were constantly people with scooters cussing and disrupting.

    Good video. Might I suggest using transition effects for smooth segues from one scene to the next.

      @Schony747  7 років тому

      I see what you mean with this one. It's either one of my early uploads, or I just forgot to put in the transitions as most of productions use the fade to black transition. Glad you enjoyed it anyway as it's all history now.

      It was an act of utter treason by Baird and Berejiklian to cut a perfectly good and serviceable rail line from Wickham to Newcastle. Baird and Berejiklian should be rotting in a cell at Cessnock Corrective Centre for what they did to Newcastle!
