This morning when I drove through RMIT Bundorra East Campus(where 86
terminates) I saw 2 trams with destination showed "Colonial Stadium"
rather then "Spencer Street". I think the recent Yarra tram timetable
changes might included such extension in the new timetable.

Is it possible to get to the Stadium quicker by catch a Latrobe
Street tram(city circle) at the corner of Spring Street and Victoria
Parade. (Rather then long way round via Bruke Street?)
