Yes, it was, until that street was widened and renamed Kingsway. The depot
was known as South Melbourne Depot until it closed about 2 years ago, being
replaced by Southbank Depot. The depot letter on run number plates for South
Melbourne (and still, for Southbank) was A for 'Annah'! (They couldn't use H
as that was Hawthorn.) (But explain V for Camberwell!!!!)

(BTW, not exactly a rail subject, but does anyone know why the depot letter
for Sydney's Mona Vale bus depot is F - except that it's Far away!)
