Photograph looks southward along Swanston St as intending passengers stand on the safety zone at Bourke St. W2 570 with destination "Elsternwick, route 1" has just departed the safety zone and obscures another W2 travelling in the opposite direction. The street is busy with pedestrians and motor cars and new traffic lights (1928-29) control the intersection. The Leviathan Department Store can be seen to the right and workmen's ladders and equipment can bee seen far left. W2 570 was built in 1929 and fitted with newly adopted route number boxes. The W2 it is passing does not appear to have route number boxes fitted yet, which dates the photo to c1930-31.Yields information about early electric trams along Swanston St Black and white print with no note.swanston st, w2 class, 570, route number boxes, bourke st, safety zone, leviathan, elsternwick, route 1 -
