Both companies are having huge problems getting enough trams to run
their existing service.

The "A-Class" which run the City Citcle have to be picked up from Kew
Depot each morning after the peak, and returned in the afternoon
before the afternoon peak (that is why the CC is only running until
3:00)

Also Yarra Trams are going to start to run the Number 10 route again
(which is a combination of the 11 & 12)  But, only during the week and
not on weekends when they have enough trams.
Rumor says they are using the shortage of trams as an excuse for doing
this, but will not return to the seperate routes once the W-Class
issue has been resolved!
