It was the East Burwood line I was referring to, but not just that
section of Bridge Road. The tram seemed to be going rather slowly all
through the inner suburbs, though of course some parts were slower than
others. I don't know exactly where the slowest bits were, partly because
I didn't have a map, and partly because during the journey it got dark!
