Another remnant (?) - Nth Fitzroy depot

Possibly we have a definitional issue here. From an operational
point of view, North Fitzroy depot is definitely a remnant. I don't
have its closing date to hand, but I think it was last used as an
operational depot in the early '90s before National Bus Company moved
into the co-located bus depot / workshops.

However this depot is still physically connected to the system
although the track grooves are filled with muck. And as far as I am
aware, it still houses a privately preserved W2 class tram. Also the
TMSV U class single trucker was being restored there - not sure
whether or not this project is finished. Does the fact that Nth
Fitzroy could potentially be used as a depot again and is being used
to store historic trams preclude its classication as a remnant?

Pedants and/or obscurantists are welcome to clarify the definition of
a remnant.

Can any TUDites also advise whether the W2 and /or the U class trams
are still at Nth Fitzroy.

Cheers,

Brian Weedon
