Trams are terminating well outside the CBD from 8am to 2pm today - an attempt to prevent anti-lockdown protesters gaining easy access to the CBD.

It is an interesting throwback to the time of the cable trams when the electrics were restricted to the peripheral suburbs!

Some pics in Flemington Rd, outside the Royal Children's hospital, where the 57, 58 and 59 trams were all turning back.

Customer Service Officers and Protective Services Officers were both in place and very friendly.
