I walked up to Simpson Street at lunch time for a "sticky nose"

but

there wasn't much to see; B2 2035 ran a Simpson Street "short"
arriving at 1256 and departing at 1257. It used the crossover not

the

siding.
Do any services still use the Simpson Street siding?

Only for MCG services (125?) after a game IIRC.

The 48s and 75s were running to Swanston Street only. I my day it
would have been route 25 to Swanston Street but the 75s had City-
Swanston Street and the 48s were showing their usual Flinders and
Spencer Streets destination.
I saw at least one inbound route 125 and 129 but I didn't see the
destination.
No sign of any other [obvious] gunzel types!
Paul in Melbourne

"Normal" through services (kind of) resumed just before 1300hrs at
Flinders/Elizabeth Sts with (Sorry, no numbers) A's running to
Market St (48) and Spencer St eastside shunt (70), B2.2126 route 75
running to City-Lonsdale St. Closely followed by an A rte 125 which
shunted at Elizabeth St (TA as point person) with the desto "East
Melbourne". Also sighted a B2 running as rte 31 (?) in Flinders St
(eastbound) with desto "City-Elizabeth St".

City Circle Ws 842 and 925 ran a "L" shape from Spencer/LaTrobe
(using the normal 75 shunt) to Flinders/Elizabeth Sts. CC could have
been run to LaTrobe/Nicholson Sts but probably truncated that far to
stop delaying 112/109 which were diverted.
