Route 48/75 replaced by Z's and A's on Sunday, terminated at
Spencer/Flinders along with City circle
Route 109 ran express from corner of Collins/Spencer to Southbank Depot both
sat and sun
they removed the "permanant" metal barriers in Spencer street and replaced
it with big plastic blocks... had a PA system (portable) to announce gate
numbers for trams (1 / 2 and 3 / 4)... fenced off the middle of spencer st
to stop people crossing and getting run over :) overall a very well
organised event :)

cheers
