Block cars

Dear all,

Last night I was having a chat with a fellow enthusiast Keith Kings about St
Kilda / Chapel Street services and the subject of block cars was raised.

A block car is a tram that waits at the terminus and is supposed to depart
on time if the normal service car is late/delayed. Keith mentioned that due
to traffic congestion along Chapel Street block cars were a regular sight at
North Richmond in the 80s.

Are block cars still used around the system? If so where?

Cheers
