I wouldn't be surprised if this issue (the E class order extension) comes up in next years state election.
If this did happen, the last of these trams wouldn't likely enter service until about 2022, so it's a long way away.
If the government (this one or the next one) takes up the order option for the extra 100 E class trams (to make a total of 150 E class), then you can probably expect Kew, Camberwell and Essendon to all get them (or at least the future incarnations of those depots), this would allow both Malvern and Glenhuntly to replace all/ most of their Z class trams with A and B class trams.

This was scanned from a slide and the date was not recorded but I suspect it may have been Aust Day 1979 when there was a Transport Cavalcade in the City and blocked off Bourke Street with shuttle buses completing the journey.
Was this an additional short working to assist with cruise ship passengers? If so then these are usually operated by Southbank. I wonder when an E will run to Port Melbourne with passengers...
