It was interesting to read in the latest Trolley Wire that
Haddon's "railway tram" VR #41 is to be restored, at Bendigo, in

its

original condition.
Also interesting to read that the overhaul of the cars in the

1930s,

at Newport Workshops, was so good that any traces of the earlier
paint scheme were eliminated.
Personally, I would love to see the car retained in the 1930s Green
and Cream scheme. That's how I remember them in service in the

1950s.

But the original condition will help us appreciate an era we never
experienced.
The recent moves by the State Government to "clean up" the St Kilda
area and take a more relaxed attitude towards street prostitution

in

certain areas made me wonder if St Kilda was always

Melbourne's "red

light" area.
Was Grey Street a "red light" district in the era of the railway
trams? paul,i too would prefer to see it remain in green &

cream.jeff
