Some railpage poster went on a trip to Europe and there he saw LRVs that look rather familar to us Melburnians.

For more information, here in Melbourne, we hired five Citadis trams from Mulhouse France and later bought them because some extension on the Mulhouse system was abandoned.

They looked like nice cars when I was in Melbourne last October. We stayed in St. Kilda and rode mostly the route 96 in and out of town, with a couple side trips on the 16 and 112. I don't know if I'm a fan of the Bumblebee graphics all over them, but looked like a nice ride!

Possibly more important though was getting several rides on the remaining W's, as it looks like the Bumblebee's will be around for a while.
