W class trams are currently in use on routes 8, 16, 69, 12. During the Grand 
Prix, W's have also been seen on 5, 6, 72, presumably on increased services.
Metcards are in use on 3,5,6,64,67,72 (Swanston St routes only listed).
Metcards are to be introduced on Epping line and routes 11 & 86 on Tuesday.
