In Melbourne the MMTB tried to get a third track in Flemington Rd. That
would j=have enabled express trams to and from the north west in peak
hours.  The City of Melbourne opposed it and won the argument.

The closest instance of an 'express' operation currently is the express
routing of special services to Showgrounds and Flemington Racecourse via
Flemington Rd rather than through North Melbourne.

Mal Rowe - occasional traveller on that service.
