Hey guys,

Mal the official line from Yarra Trams is that E's will
start on the 58 later on in the year and the route is to be run with only
E's & B's.I also understand that a totally new substation has been
installed on Melville Road near Hope St on the site of the old Hope St bus
lines yard,which possibly could lessen the need for Reynard St and as all
the conduit and other works have already been done at Reynard/Melville once
a site is chosen it won't take long to set up.Regarding the new depot
site,is the Plastic Plumbing site still vacant?Also is there any progress
on the upgrade works at Bwk,maybe this will be the new depot....

Regards Tim
