One for all those who complain about destination displays being either lacking or sparse, this one is so obvious blind Freddie and his dog couldn't fail to guess its destination. For just once, - well done Yarra Trams!

Grumpy.

Between Saturday Oct 5 and Wed Oct 9 the next section of Elizabeth St between Lonsdale St and Flinders Lane will be relaid.
See:

Bourke St services will also be disrupted over the weekend of Oct 5 and 6 because the crossing at Elizabeth St is being replaced.

The markings are visible on the road in this morning's photo.

The section between Flinders Lane and Flinders St is all that is left to do ... and I don't know that a decision has been made yet about the proposed closing of Elizabeth St for this block.

I am told that the Es are supposed to enter passenger service in Bourke St on Monday, Oct 7, but I won't hold my breath!
