[TramsDownUnder] A bit short at the 'ponds'

Yesterday's pic shows the siding just north of Moonee Ponds junction
where the Footscray trams terminate.  B class 2029 is passing in Pascoe
Vale Rd.

Second pic shows the view looking north from the junction.

A new sign has been placed on the pole adjacent to the siding points -
saying "ONE TRAM ONLY IN SIDING".

It seems that the addition of two toilets and a couple of equipment
cabinets plus the buffer has made the siding too short to hold two Z
class trams.

This matters because route 57 trams used to come in 'over the top' of
Footscray trams when running in or out from Essendon Depot.  They can't
do that now.

It won't be an issue once the Maidstone Depot opens and becomes the home
depot for both 57 and 82 trams, but it's a nuisance now.

Mal Rowe in a city that usually gets this sort of thing right.
