My first solo drive

So, I got my basic tram driver qualification as of yesterday. Today was the first day I took a tram out all by myself... I got to drive the Y1 class tram, number 610. Only 4 were ever built, and we'd only just finished restoring it last week. So it's a good thing I didn't break it =P
It was a really good ride, and the driver's area isn't as claustrophobic as some (although thankfully that isn't a problem for me), it handled quite well - it was really cushy!

Oh, and because 610 doesn't have a sound system, I didn't do the tour tape - I just drove. It was, um, actually it was very therapeutic. Kinda serene, in its way. I could say it was rad, it was awesome, all that, and it would be true, but those words don't sum it up. there are moments, when everything is perfect, when you have reached that which you have wanted and strived for, when you are living the dream. That is what the drive was today.

Oh, and friends of mine who live next to the tram line brought me a cold drink and some biccies to say congrats too. That was funny, and really sweet.
After all, they'd seen my with the tram L plates on for a while, and they noticed that the L's had gone. I thought that was really sweet. So to the Prince family, thankyou =)
And yes, for the most part, I am very purposely leaving names out of this, because for that most part, I don't think putting names in would be proper.

Oh, and a good friend who is also a tramways member joined me for one trip, which was good too - it was nice to have someone there to share my first drive with.
