Have now completed the route 70 stop attributes.

Along the way, I was able to update the new accessible stop between Exhibition & Russell Street on Flinders Street. It’s an interesting stop and relatively well-designed, but suffers from one main problem - pedestrian access. For some reason, passengers can only access the stop at the Flinders/Russell St intersection or from pedestrian signals at the east end of the platform that lead onto the southern footpath.

If you are on the northern side of Flinders Street (much more likely given the presence of buildings) and want to catch an outbound tram, you have to walk the equivalent of about one and a half city blocks to walk all the way down to Russell Street and walk the entire length of the platform. It seems like a silly thing to do - at the very least the pedestrian signals should be for the entire width of the road and at best they should be pedestrian-priority zebra crossings.

So after that little rant, I’ve now started on the north-south routes, beginning with the route 1 (East Coburg - South Melbourne). It’s run out of Brunswick Depot with Z3 and B2-class trams and is one of the most iconic routes of Melbourne.
