A low point in Melbourne PT
  Mal Rowe

The attached pic shows 2102 in Elizabeth St on a Sunday in 1995.

It was made by George Bishop and is part of the collection of the
Melbourne Tram Museum at Hawthorn.

I scanned it for them and am grateful for their OK to share it.

The Upfield Railway Station destination reflects the suspension of rail
services on the Upfield line on Sundays, replaced by trams to North
Coburg and a shuttle bus to Upfield.  The railway seemed doomed and
there was even a proposal to close it and use the right of way to
relocate the Sydney Rd tram service 'freeing up' Sydney Rd for motor cars.

Fast forward 20 years and both the railway and tramway are full and
overflowing.

Motor cars are limited to a maximum of 40km/hr in Sydney Rd.

Mal Rowe - thankful for active planners and protestors in the GTCOTS and
the political activism of the "Peoples Republic of Moreland"
