Thats what I thought as well, but 2020 & 2069 are/were at Southank
Depot, and they only run on route 96.   The Melbourne Water Tram
(forgot what tram number) is also based at Southbank, and that
"cummunity service" message which is written on the side is one that
you would think would be spread around a little more.

Only Z-Class at Malvern Depot would get mixed into different tram
routes more because most trams at Malvern do three different tram
routes in the one shift (go into the city as a number 6 then back out
as a number 72...or whatever)
