Thanks Daniel.

Good advice.
I need to be a little less lazy and take my DSLR off auto!

Correct as usual David - here's a pic when the 236 destination was visible and the 210 destination was 'blinking'.

The 236 shot may also be historic as I understand that Glenhuntly is to become an 'all B class' depot as from Monday.

It's worth figuring out if you can adjust your camera to have a slightly longer than usual exposure time when snapping modern LED displays on trams. With the default settings on most cameras, the displays used on the As, Bs and Zs tend to either look fine or blank. The displays on the Es often show only a couple of lines of pixels, making them unreadable.
