re Balloon loops and Tram over Tram... maybe?



Just to add to the list, The Glenelg Tram in Adelaide had a balloon loop
which was closed when Victoria Square was modified in the mid 60's. 

As I recall the trams basically dropped their inbound passengers in the
centre of the square and proceeded anticlockwise down Grote Street and left
past Charles Moores store ( Pickup Outbound passengers) and left again at
Gouger St. The tram could then turn right and back down King William St or
straight to the "car barn" in Angas St.. 

I can barely remember riding the Cheltenham Tram to the City and going over
the Hawker St Bridge (over the North Main rail line), but did this line
then travel over Morphett St Bridge, therefore North Terrace?
