Welcome to the 21th edition of Trams Galore. In this video, we see trams at one of the busist tram intersections in the CBD. Although it may not be the best of filming (it seems I could not use a tripod properly back in the day) there is a lot of historical scenes featured in this video.
1. All Combino Trams are not in the Yarra Trams Mk4 livery, and all are now in PTV livery
2. D2 Trams do not run on Route 96 anymore. This service is now been fully operated by E "Flexity" class trams. These D2 Trams have been transferred to Route 19
3. C2 "Citadis Mulhouse" Trams, commonly known as the "Bumble Bees" do not wear the Bumble Bee Livery anymore. They all now wear the standard PTV livery.
4. Z1 Trams have now been completely withdrawn from service.
5. As of May 1st 2017, route 8 does not exist anymore. It has now been replaced by an extended route 6 from Glen Iris to Moreland, whilst route 55 has been extended to Toorak to form route 58
6.B1 class No.2002 also makes an appearance, and since late 2015, it has been placed into storage. As of 11/12/17, all B1 class trams have been withdrawn
The farewell tours of the respective classes can be found here (Z1, B1)

It is interesting to find so much change in just a short span of two years, and makes me wonder what sort of change the tram network it is gonna undergo 2 years down the line.
