Glenhuntly used to have two school runs on in the morning and one in the afternoon that used the crossover at Windor to clear the school loading from that spot. The afternoon service ran out via Dandenong Road to Windsor shunted and returned to South Caulfield Jct and then to Carnegie.

My recent Driver's View Route 64 video shows this bridge, but whether anybody uses it is another matter.

I found my 1977 MMTB Annual Report just now. This amazing photo, attached, is one of  the illustrations.
Contrast the caption, "Modern facilities for the public,"  with the shot of 641, a W2 that  entered service in 1930, a mere 47 years earlier.

I presume the "modern  facilities" are the shelters and the pedestrian  overbridge. The latter wouldn't be allowed now as, like the tram, it only has  steps. I'm surprised the board didn't borrow a Z from Bourke Street for  this photo.

Is that bridge still there? I'd never have used it. I know Dandenong Road carries heavy motor traffic, but I'd just wait for a gap when the lights changed a block or so away and cross over then to the tram stop. I seem to recall there are pedestrian lights for tram passengers nowadays.
