You'd never be able to pull it off with the horde of trams in St.

Kilda Road.

Not to mention, running non-stop from Collins Street to Stop 25

would entail

skipping Flinders Street.

Which is why I am puzzled by the following observation:

3502 running route 72 to Camberwell about 10:30am today (at

Collins

St).

Interesting that the automated announcement correctly
announced "Next Stop: Corner of Commercial and St Kilda Roads"

So I'm guessing that 3502 was at Collins Street at about 10:30am

but that the

announcement was made at stop 24 or 26, depending upon the

direction.

QUESTION: once upon a time the Camberwell service was 7, with short

workings

numbered 7a, 7b and 7d. When were this and other St. Kilda Rd.

lines

rationalised (?!) to their current numberings?

1970.From that date the no 3 started to be used in route nos
