Interesting.

When Liam and I were watching the clearance tests of E.6001 way back in winter 2013, we were told that Spencer Street south to La Trobe Street west was the sharpest curve on the system which is why they were checking clearances on this particular curve. And yes, even here the two ends are not at right angles.
