Buses are replacing the tram service on part of Swanston Street, Melbourne's busiest tram thoroughfare. Approximately half of Melbourne's tram routes are in some way affected by this weekend's occupation, which is due to trackworks.
The co-operation of hundreds of people, whether in construction, service delivery and information, is requires to make this large project a success. Below are some pictures of the day's work.

It is a big undertaking. Interestingly, it continues on Monday when many people are back to work and things start to return to normal after the NY break.
ReplyDeleteThose trackworks really disrupted my schedule. I certainly hope they're worth it.
