St Vincents Plaza, is a pinch point because of the curves into Brunswick and Gisbourne St. E class hang over the platform at each end. If e's are 35m the available platform must be only 34m. I have seen tip to tale 11 behind 30 into Latrobe snookered by 12 behind 109 out of Gisborne St. see 11 turning into Brunswick St at https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Gisborne+St,+East+Melbourne+VIC+3002/@-37.8083132,144.9760717,146m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x6ad642c4f071e90d:0xd4cc4e8e0ef101cd!8m2!3d-37.8094893!4d144.9757069

I presume the issue on the north-south streets of the Hoddle grid is the half-blocks of the "Little"streets. However, they're about 100 metres which is room for even a CSELR type platform. The Bridge St stop in Sydney is in a block that's little more than the length of the platform. There would be little issue for a 45 metre or even 60 metre platform in Melbourne.
