  I have been told that this siding will be retained in the new layout, but a bit shorter.  New span poles are visible.

The rails are now largely in place in Union St and Epsom Rd.

The loop has been re-instated. It is shorter and has a more flexible layout.

• First pic shows the junction of the three tracks at the north end in Union Rd just north of Burrowes St.  The centre track is the storage track. Access to the centre track is now available from either the outbound or inbound mainline.  Previously access was only from the outbound line and the storage track was the east side track.
• Second pic shows the storage track joining the inbound line a bit north of the corner of Epsom Rd.  The new platform stop will be south of that junction.
• I have also attached a rough map based on a base from https://en-au.topographic-map.com/  It shows the new layout superimposed on the old.  All the track is being replaced, but red lines indicate new alignments and the blue arrows point to tracks now removed, including the crossover in Epsom Rd. The orange line marks the platform stop.

Mal Rowe who will be interested to see which of the inbound tracks in Epsom Rd is used when there is no need for tram storage.
