As Andy says, none in Melbourne.

Almost all the wires need pans these days.

I saw a Melbourne Y class in Bendigo still with poles a few weeks ago.

Christchurch has at least one Melbourne W with poles running on its inner city line. San Francisco has at least one W with poles on its F Market route. There are also Ws in Seattle.

The Danish prince who married the woman from Tasmania was given a W as a wedding present but I'm note sure if he has a track to run it on.
