Fantastic overview!
Driving a MER tram scores very high on my bucket list. Such a beautiful piece of technology!
The gradients, curves and crossings make the MER drivers some of the most skilful anywhere. They really have the best job in the world. I’d love to do it!
Having been on the Ultimate Driving Experience I can confirm how difficult it is to control the brake. Can recommend the Experience - it really was a great learning curve.
Amazing always wanted a job doing it but didn't know how to go about it
