St Vincents Plaza super stop: observations

I had a quick look at the new St Vincents Plaza super stop at lunch
time today.
Each of the platforms holds one Citadis car so there was some banking
in the "up" direction.
The platforms are not clearly marked with the tram routes although
there are timetable boards and the electronic "next tram" displays.
It would be a little confusing to a first time or non-English
speaking visitor.
There was a mix of tram classes on route 112 with As, B2s, Cs and Zs
spotted in the short time I was there. Route 109 was a mix of As and
Cs. Route 34 was As only. There was also a mix on the 31 short
workings including a Z (139) that I rode for two stops back to work.
There were seven Yarra Trams personnel "superintending" and a worker
fixing the electronic displays on platforms 2 and 3 that were not
working on the outbound side.
The official opening was at 1200 yesterday (Wednesday 24 July) with
temporary stops in Gisborne Street at Victoria Parade (down) and
Victoria Parade at Brunswick Street (up) abolished at that time.
