Bustitution on the North Coburg line next weekend
  Mal Rowe

Those of you who follow avidly Rod Smith's daily digest may have noticed a map showing partial bustitution on Route 19 next weekend.

It's at: http://tdu.to/i/61018 , just after some 'transit related' pictures of fruit and pastries at Clifton Hill :-P

Works are about putting in a platform stop where the wide Royal Parade becomes narrow Sydney Rd.  The current stop (pictured) is a little 'bushland idyl'.

See:

Yarra Trams aims to serve route 19 with all low floor trams, but there are currently only 4 platform stops (out of 37 stops) along the entire route.

They are at:

 5-Melbourne Central Station/Elizabeth St (Melbourne City)
 7-Queen Victoria Market/Elizabeth St (Melbourne City)
 9-Haymarket/Elizabeth St (Melbourne City)
 40-North Coburg Terminus/Sydney Rd (Coburg North)

The new stop is a small step in the right direction.

Mal Rowe - always relieved when a B2 arrives instead of a D2 on route 19
