Don,re Essendon route numbers,standard procedure in the 60s and 70s
was to show 56 on the south end of the car and 55 on the north

end.As

I remember there were odd workings through to St.Kilda Beach and of
course these showed 55 at both ends.Peter Bruce.PS.of course there
were some peak services supplied by South Melbourne,I think 2 trips
in each peak.I have a feeling that Malvern might even have even had
one table with a West Coburg on it,maybe you can help here Jeff?As

a

South Melbourne driver I always loved going out through the
Park,especially running in after the PM peak,hills and curves and

no

passengers/stops so you could really give it some stick,very
occasionally you might jag a Thompson[BTH motors] and that was real
fun.But I digress.........PB.
Peter,

>In the mid 1960's,both Malvern,and Glenhuntly depots ran an evening

peak hour run to West Coburg.I photographed L class trams on these

runs but was never sighted a W3 on this.I remember that Essendon
Depot ran cars on routes 5,8,and 55 to St Kilda Beach.Essendon were
still running to Toorak in the early 1980s an Malvern Depot were
running a morning peak hour trip on route 55 in the early 1980's
