A protest rally in Swanston St on Sunday 26th November 2023 saw trams on Routes 1, 3, 6, 64 & 67 diverting via William St, City. William St normally serves Route 58 only so the influx of five extra routes for a few hours provided some very congested scenes.
This video commences at the Dudley Street siding where trams on Routes 3, 64 & 67 shunted before commencing their return journeys to the southern suburbs.
At the intersection of La Trobe St & William St (Flagstaff Station) diverted Routes 1 & 6 trams joined William St via the rarely used curves from La Trobe St. This provided the opportunity for rare footage of D2 class trams in William St whilst working Route 6 services.
After travelling down William St trams are seen negotiating the William St - Flinders Lane - Market St curves, with the video concluding at Flinders St.
