Suggestions for Yarra Trams' LRV network



Yes, that's right!  I'm back with some more of my marvellous suggestions.
Just when you thought my ridiculous suggestion were gone, they rear their
ugly heads again.  This time it is for Yarra Trams' LRV network, in
particular the city and inner southern suburbs.  And yes, I know that some
of these suggestions are already in place.  NB - These are all
stations/major stop names.

FOUR ROUTES: 71; 96; 107; 109.

ROUTE 71 - Latrobe St. - Punt Rd. via Docklands

Latrobe St. Terminus - Technology Park (Latrobe St. Ext.) - Seven Studios
(Docklands Esp.) - Colonial Stadium (Docklands Esp.) - Batmans Hill
(Docklands Esp. [current Footscray Rd.]) - Police Centre (Flinders St.
Ext.) - World Trade Centre (Flinders St. Ext.) - Spencer St. - William St. -
Market St. - Queen St. - Elizabeth St. - Swanston Walk - Russell St. -
Exhibition St. - Batman Av. - Unnamed Station (currently stop 7D I think) -
Melbourne Park Tennis Centre - Multi-Purpose Venue (yet to be named) - Swan
St. - Punt Rd.

This route would be in operation on weekends and major sporting events, and
incorporate new plans for routes 48 and 70.

ROUTE 96 - East Brunswick - Luna Park

Normal route stops to Spring St. - Exhibition St. - Russell St. - Swanston
Walk - Bourke Mall - Elizabeth St. - Queen St. - William St. - King St. -
Spencer St. - Bourke St. - Collins St. - Grand Hotel - Convention -
Exhibition & Casino West - Port Junction - City Rd. - South Melbourne -
Albert Park - Wright St. - Middle Park - Fraser St. - St. Kilda - Grey St. -
Acland St. West - Catani Gardens - Alfred Square - Luna Park Terminus.

Yes, this is the same route as present.

ROUTE 107 - Docklands - Port Melbourne via Fishermans Bend

Seven Studios - Colonial Stadium - (now onto the old Webb Dock Line)
Victoria Harbour - Mirvac - Yarra Waters - Hall St. - Portside - HWT - RMIT
Fishermans Bend - Westgate Park - Todd Rd. - Garden City - Beacon Cove -
Port Melbourne Terminus.

I realise this line would not serve a great purpose until the Docklands
project has been majorly completed.

ROUTE 109 - Mont Albert - Port Melbourne

Normal route stops to Spring St. - Exhibition St. - Russell St. - Swanston
Walk - Elizabeth St. - Queen St. - William St. - King St. - Spencer St. -
Bourke St. - Collins St. - Grand Hotel - Convention - Exhibition & Casino
West - Port Junction - Southbank Depot - Montague - North Port - Graham -
Port Melbourne Terminus.

e-mail.
