646 is very confused, showing route 69, South Melb&St Kilda Beach and carrying a Camberwell run number. I think it was a South Melbourne car at this point too. The terminal stub was probably lengthened to accommodate B class cars, storage for Grand Prix services maybe.

It shows just how short the terminus section was in 1988 - certainly too
short for a B.

I suspect the occasion was a fan tour.
