When Southbank Depot opened and South Melbourne closed, route 16 was
transferred to Malvern Depot. Mostly W but some Z. The route is run in
conjunction with route 8.>

Route 82 - Z3.
West Coburg 55 is run from Essendon. Route 68 does not run any more. Route 55
runs 7 days a week.

As mentioned above, route 16 is run by Malvern. Route 95 is shared by
Southbank and Preston. There is also a shortworking of 96 which terminates at
Gertrude Street as route 94.

Peak hour only routes are limited to routes 23 and 24, run by Kew Depot using
A class.
Also not mentioned are routes 30 (Brunswick St to Spencer St via LaTrobe St),
route 34 (Spencer St to Hoddle St via LaTrobe St and Victoria Pde). Also route
31 (Brunswick St to Spencer St via Collins St).
Routes 30, 34 run by Preston with Z3. 31 by Kew with A.
Just to confuse matters, I saw a B on route 11 last week.
