Ash and Gem are regular passengers on the tram. Without screens to distract them, they make a connection, opening up the possibilities of further adventures together, but once normal mobile phone service is resumed, will they lose sight of one another again? You decide the ending depending on which stop you depart at.CreditsWritten by Emma GibsonCommissioned by David RydingEdited by Elizabeth FluxRecorded at the State Library of VictoriaProduced by Beth Atkinson-QuintonWith music by Steve HearneTramlines is a podcast created by Broadwave in partnership with the Melbourne UNESCO City of Literature Office.
