In Melbourne you used to rarely get drivers putting the line indication
marker lights on still, even though the practice was discontinued around 5
years ago (roughly - if anyone wishes to be pedantic and post the correct
date, please feel free). There were extremely rare occasions where Clifton
Hill group line trains showed 'Princes Bridge' as their destination, despite
the fact that the name was discontinued in railway use since the Eighties
some time (the station became Flinders St, p14,15,16).
