This item is interesting in two ways:
* Similar trains were run in 1956. Exams which would normally have been
held in Exhibition Building were relocated to the showgrounds because EB
was in use as an Olympic venue.
* Showgrounds is a Hillside enclave in Bayside territory, part of
Melbourne's arbitrary carve of a system (without creating a service).
