Going back a long time with some very un-expertise knowledge, all depots
had a Monday to Friday timetable, with the exception of Essendon Depot and
maybe Brunswick too, whereby there was a different timetable for Fridays to
cope with the extra loading and traffic associated with the busyness of
Victoria Market. Maybe around 2000 Malvern Depot changed to a Monday to
Thursday timetable and a separate Friday timetable, but they were identical
for some years after.
