It's a line that goes from Flinders Street - Spencer Street - Flagstaff - 
Museum^H^H^H^H^H^HMElbourne Central - Parliament - Flinders Street - 
Spencer Street - Flagstaff, etc.

It's basically a link between platforms 1, 2 and 3 at Flinders Street to 
the City loop, Clifton Hill group tunnel, which enables trains to do a full 
circle. Regular running was Jeffed, and replaced by a City Circle tram 
service, utilising W class trams (and now A class trams until the W's come 
back).
