In reply to Drew.

In this case I’m not sure – but it’s usually either a wire coming loose or rubbish getting tangled up, which the pantograph then snags, brining down the wires.

What damaged the wires to begin with?

In reply to Joseph. Not allowed to have a break, are they? And the problems begun with the overshooting of platforms which forced many off the network for a length of time. And as has been mentioned, the overheads as well. And has these issues plagued the Xtrapolis trains as well? Or has it just been the Siemens?

My god these Siemens are really out of luck when it comes to over head wire huh.

I believe I saw it on a video by Straya Trains on YouTube a couple of months ago, and I strongly recommend you check out the video to see how it was done.

In reply to Jesse. The transfer move was speed limited to what seemed like walking pace, and I was driving my car through an empty city at 3 AM.

How’d you get from Olympic Park to Flinders St so fast! Or was the Y class just so slow?

A while back G541 was sent out to rescue a failed Xtrap on the Altona loop, but you probably already knew about that 😛
