Domain Rd re-opened to road traffic on October 14th.

The ANZAC station website advises:

"In the coming months, bus Route 605 will extend further along Domain Road with two new stops.

The Route 58 tram will continue to run along Toorak Road West, providing a shorter and direct path to St Kilda
Road and maintaining the same platform interchange for citybound passengers at the Anzac Station tram stop.

We know the Metro Tunnel will change the way people use public transport services in the Anzac precinct.

Our planning will consider new travel patterns once the Metro Tunnel opens – as well as community feedback,
infrastructure requirements and vehicle movements in the area before making a decision on the delivery and
timing of any network changes."

So that seems to confirm that trams are unlikely to return to Domain Rd.

However the track connection and platform stops are in place - as shown in my attached pics from last Tuesday.

The overhead does not cross St Kilda Rd and the track beyond the crossover is unusable as it would require 'bang road' running to get back to St Kilda Rd.
