Please Explain...

[Richard Youl]

Below is part of an email from a train driver friend.

I can also understand the frustration of not knowing which tram to catch from the Elizabeth Street terminus when only going a few stops up the street.

On a previous trip south, I noticed that while stops along Elizabeth Street have electronic departure information, there is nothing at the terminus and consequently no way to know which tram will depart first. Does anyone know the reason for this? Even a theoretical departure timetable would be better than nothing.

“I have a question for you.

 For the life of me, and to my absolute frustration, I can never pick the next tram to depart northwards. I cannot deduce the trams arriving and in to which side other than I notice they never seem to bury a car. Do you know?“

Regards,

Richard

As I only catch the 57 from there, I don't worry about the next to go.

Sometimes in the morning, my 57 is on th e blocks just arrived and frustratingly a 19 or 57 arrives on top.  But by the third blink though, it's gone again.  Worse though are the Flinders Lane traffic lights.  High time traffic was kept out of Elizabeth St altogether or at least south of Lonsdale St.

The easiest way I have found is tramtracker for the northbound Collins St stop
