 Still working on the 78 in April 2014 was car 907 with the unusual destination Prahran in the middle of the route. By the end of the year that W class had been retired and were no longer on the 78. Interestingly, though Class Z cars had subsituted in the evenings, the service has become home to Class A trams. It was a shame to see the Class W trams leave the 78, one of the few non radial routes on the network. Chapel Street is a place of character and the W Class suited it well. Locals still say it is quicker to walk up Chapel Street than take the tram and with the A Class that is still true, but as most passengers hop on the 78 without touching on with their Myki cards, they can hardly complain about the slow progress. |
 In Prahran in March 2012, car 954 is seen from the "rear" heading south to Balaclava with the blind seemingly already set for its return journey. |
 Working route 30 in March 2012 car 1005 is seen heading for Docklands. |
 Night views of Class W trams became increasingly difficult, with Class Z cars normally replacing them on the 78/79 in the evenings. The Restaurant Cars obviously ran at night. Here car 960 is seen in March 2014 on the discontinued working to St Kilda and Luna Park. |
 Crossing the Yarra River on Church Street Bridge in January 2013 is car 1031. |
