Now we are on the topic of trackwork - can anyone tell me when Melbourne
track relaying practice switched from constructing a temporary track and
maintaining services around the work (which went on mainly during normal
working hours as far as I know) to the current practice of closing both
services and the road, and working round the clock with heavy machinery over
a weekend? I presume the change pre-dates privatisation.

Yes certainly pre privatisation, I would reckon at least 12-15 years
ago. The new junction at Miller St and St. George's Road was done with a
quite lengthy closure of the West Preston route beyond this corner.
AFAIR that job was about 10 years ago.
