Problems: -

Victoria Street in the eastern section where trams do not run (Swanston to
Spring) is infested with right turn lanes. However, as this is only 750 m
or thereabouts, it could conceivably be operated 'express' in the 'through'
traffic lane, with the right turn lanes to the right of the tram - no tram
stops.

The standard Melbourne solution to this would be hook turns - plenty of room
for those.

with hook turns
