Re: (MELB) Route 70, Australian Open, etc.

Hi Chris - that was not what I was asking - the Australian Open website
clearly states that the trams will start from Spencer St station, but you
said that the extension into Flinders St West will open later this year or
early next year. Now if it opens later this year, will they run Wattle Park
trams from Flinders St West and a tennis centre shuttle from Spencer St
station, or all from Flinders St West, or was the website wrong?
