you overlook the fact they share the same route from Power Street to
Camberwell.

Quite right. I was being selective of the facts to make a point.

No other city in the world, I'm betting, has ever had a tram terminus called
"Batman Avenue." I loved it when I first read of it as a boy decades ago -
had no idea then what or who a batman was except for you know whom. The
merger of Hawthorn and (East) Burwood met my stern disapproval, and I am
totally bummed out to discover that Batman Avenue has lost its one remaining
service.
