Rigid-frame car length[edit]

- H-class longer than e. g. Buffalo or Tuen Mun? Or among older cars, e. g. Sundsvall-Skönvik, Sweden No. 55 at 17.8 m. (over couplers? Not certain.)? I doubt it. Keinstein 12:18, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Advertising[edit]

I've removed the section regarding tram advertising again because a list of all past, present a future advertising on trams is:
1. Original Research
2. Not verifiable, there are no sources and there are likely to never be any usable sources.
3. Irrelevant to the article, to the tram's operations, history and future. Wikipedia is not a directory.

Discussion about restructure of this and related articles[edit]

Please visit Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Adelaide#Trams if you are interested in discussing the structure and number of articles about Adelaide trams. --Scott Davis ^Talk 13:27, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hatnotes[edit]

Copied from User talk:Bullgold14

Could you please not remove the hatnote links to the main tramcar articles? While they may not have detailed information on Adelaide (provided in the Glenelg tram article) they are still noteworthy as the primary outline for information and contain some technical details for the tram types. Regards. – Nick Mitchell 98 ^talk 03:40, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hatnotes are appropriate where there are more detailed articles beneath, e.g. the H class. The Adelaide section in the Flexity article is fairly useless, having no cites and being 5 years out of date. The Citadis article only makes brief mention in a table with little prose. So in both cases, this article is the more detailed and no reason to hatnote these when a standard wikilink is sufficient. Bullgold14 (talk) 00:48, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stops[edit]

Other lines have listed the stops here, is this necessary for this article too?150.101.100.140 (talk) 05:29, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Name of the article?[edit]

Now that the Glenelg line is no longer the only tram line in Adelaide, Is it still appropriate to call this page "Glenelg Tram"? Shouldn't it be something like "Adelaide Tram lines" now? 36.255.48.99 (talk) 03:11, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Glenelg tram" refers to the modern light rail system as a whole (the original Victoria to Moseley route plus the extensions). "Adelaide tram lines" refers to the historic tramcar system that ran throughout the suburbs. – Nick Mitchell 98^talk 12:33, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Major upgrade to this article[edit]

Please see the discussion of pending major upgrades to this and other articles about trams in Adelaide, and two new articles, at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Adelaide#2019 upgrade of Adelaide trams articles. A change in the title to "Glenelg tram line" is proposed and a new article on Adelaide's tramways revival has been drafted. Comments welcome. SCHolar44 (talk) 23:15, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Page move completed[edit]

I have completed a page move in order to change the title to Glenelg tram line, South Australia, as forecast 3 months ago. The matter was also discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Adelaide.

The upgrading of the article, mentioned above, is almost finished. SCHolar44 (talk) 06:37, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
