I just want to add, route 8 been terminus at Malvern depot(about 2km
further) for a long time, for crew exchange/turn around purpose(as long
as route 8 exist). Trams do let passengers stay on until Malvern depot
but may or may not pick up passengers depend on lateness. Why not make
this route an official one?
