Um...  Dunno!  There were tracks there.

I walked out of Fat Albert's shop after experiencing an overdose of
his verbal diarrhea.  Across the road was a tram stop, with a tram due
in two minutes.  It never showed up, and the next one was 7 minutes
late.  I also went to the "Shadow of West Tower" on a Sunday afternoon
to find the clubrooms closed at 15:30.  Walking back to Spencer
Street, there were three trams that I was supposed to pass, but none
of them showed up.   Melbourne's public transport is pathetic.
