James Carter had a big day planned.

The mobility scooter user had already spent more than two hours travelling from Euroa to Melbourne before he caught the 96 tram to his destination – last year's Flower & Garden show – when disaster struck.

Instead of smelling the roses, James was trapped on the tram for an hour.

After accidently missing the accessible stop closest to Carlton Gardens he was forced to take an hour-long round trip to the end of the line in Brunswick East and then back to the city before he could get off the tram and head to the show.
