Bill,
If the K, L & M lines had not been put in subway, there would have been no
need for the F line on Market Street since they also ran along that street.
The F line actually augmented Market Street tram capacity. And it had the
effect of taking many shorthaul passengers off the "thru" cars which is just
perfect.
In the case of a W class tram on Swanston Street and St Kilda Road, the Ws
would be doing their fair share of the task. We're talking about operating
several existing, working lines with Ws not running a toy service for
gunzels. A bit of colour or style on the street.

What do you think would have happened had the Market St tracks not
been available for a heritage trolley operation that did not impact
normal MUNI streetcar traffic operation sin any significant way? It
seems to me that was an absolutely essential element in enabling all
that has transpired since on heritage trolley operation in San
Francisco.
