Southbank did have Z3 class between the introduction of route 112 and the full arrival of C1 class.
Aren't the D2s and B2s housed at Brunswick?Was about to reply with just this.In fact, I've never seen a B class on route 6.
B class' are pretty regular on route 6, 2084 is running down High St Armadale atm.
6 gets quite the mix of trams, Z3, B, D1 and D2.
Can't think of another route that would have 4 types - happy to be corrected!
Malvern runs a mix of Z3 and D1 trams on route 6 (although it's mainly the Z3s), just as they do on 5/16/58/72
Moreland runs a mix of B2 and D2 trams on route 6, and that seems to be a 50/50 split. Route 1 is all B2 trams and Route 19 is a mix of B2 and D2 trams, favouring the D2.
Right. Had I been able to travel personally I would have seen them, but I've been relying on Vicsig in seeing trams for a couple of years. The depot is called Brunswick, but the closest tram access point is called Moreland. The starter's office is at stop 27 on route 19, where hardly any trams terminate, so it's theoretidally the least used depot destination message, although the destination programmers don't seem to know this and you now see "Brunswick Depot via Sydney Rd 19d" on D2 class. It's a complicated procedure to set separate destination and route numbers that are not programmed on C, D and possibly E class so hardly any drivers bother.
The last stop on a 19d (formerly route 18) service is Moreland.In the days of the W's & Z's at Bwk, route 18 trams and run in trams from Sydney rd always showed "Bunswick" 18 as the word depot was only added to this a few years after the B's started,whereas cars from Lygon st showed either "Brunswick Moreland rd or just Moreland,Something that i did not put in my previous post was that the destination Moreland stems from when the terminus was actually in Moreland rd at the station there was a short terminal stub just after the curve into Cameron st stopping just before the train line,so when the terminus was relocated to the depot they just kept the same name.
