0:00:23 > 0:00:25- I'm Maddie.- I'm Nicholas.

0:00:25 > 0:00:30BOTH: Today, we're finding out what it's like to work on a tram!

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Trams are a bit like trains.

0:00:34 > 0:00:38They run on tracks and they take people from place to place.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41But trams do something extra special.

0:00:41 > 0:00:45They travel on streets through towns and cities.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Debbie works on the tram.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50We're meeting her at the tram depot.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52What happens with trams in the shed?

0:00:52 > 0:00:54This is where we look after the trams

0:00:54 > 0:00:56and get them ready to go out.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58We're getting this tram ready.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01I see you're dressed in your safety clothes.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04- Are you ready to help? - Yes.- Yes.- Good.

0:01:05 > 0:01:09Maddie, let's put these stickers up. What do you think they're for?

0:01:09 > 0:01:14It's a map so people can see where we're going and where they are.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Right, it's all the different lines.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20- Where on the map do you think we are?- Near there.- That's right.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24This one is for somebody who's got a baby in their tummy,

0:01:24 > 0:01:28who's got a child with them, and an old man or a lady.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30On the window...

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Make sure there's no bubbles.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Not a single bubble. - Not a single bubble.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42- This is where we drive the tram from.- What do all these buttons do?

0:01:42 > 0:01:45This switch opens the doors for the passengers.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48This one is for the windscreen wipers, when it rains.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51And that one lets the sand out.

0:01:51 > 0:01:52Why do you need sand?

0:01:52 > 0:01:56When it's all slippy on the track, when it's raining,

0:01:56 > 0:01:57it slows the tram down safely.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01- What do the pedals do? - They're a horn and a whistle.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05Because the tram drives on streets, where there's lots of people,

0:02:05 > 0:02:08we have to let them know that we are coming, and keep them safe.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11- So can you test them for me? - WHISTLE BLOWS

0:02:13 > 0:02:14HORN PARPS

0:02:32 > 0:02:36You've done a great job today, getting the tram ready for the trip.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39We need to clean the tram on the outside.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Have you ever washed a car before? - Once, I washed a car with my mum.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46We got the sponge and we dipped it in water

0:02:46 > 0:02:50and we put soap all on it

0:02:50 > 0:02:51and then we dried it.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53I go to a car wash.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57Well, to wash a tram, it's a bit like going through a car wash.

0:02:57 > 0:02:58But it's much bigger.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07We're moving!

0:03:07 > 0:03:08Look at this big brush!

0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Yes, it is. - BOTH: Hooray!

0:03:31 > 0:03:33If you're having a race with a tram and a car,

0:03:33 > 0:03:35which one would go the fastest?

0:03:35 > 0:03:38Well, the car would be the fastest.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41But a tram can go very fast.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46- That track looks complicated. - It does look complicated!

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Now it's Maddie's turn.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Do you enjoy being a tram driver?

0:03:50 > 0:03:52I love being a tram driver.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57How many seats are there on this tram?

0:03:57 > 0:03:58There are 66 seats,

0:03:58 > 0:04:01and there's room for 132 people standing.
