Dirty tracks blamed for tram driver's electric shock: TRAM drivers fear maintenance cutbacks that led to dirty tram tracks are to blame for a recent incident in which a driver received an electric shock while standing on a tram floor.
Yarra Trams is investigating the January 11 incident, which forced the temporary shutdown of one of Melbourne's busiest tram corridors, between Melbourne University and La Trobe Street. The low-floor D-class tram - Melbourne's latest type - has been put out of action until the investigation is complete.
The driver was shocked moments after reporting to the fleet operations centre that his tram had suddenly lost power while shunting at the university tram terminus.
