This is quite a regular occurrence, Camberwell will quite often send its B Class trams to Kew for servicing, the same occurs at Glenhuntly where their trams are sent to Malvern depot for servicing

I asked a driver once if we would ever get to ride on one. He told me they have to run defect free for 1,000 km before they can go into service. If they have a fault at 999 km they have to start over again.
Is there any plan to ever run E Class trams along Route 86 or are they just teasing us? Testing on 86 for use on other routes.

The E Class trams will finally be used on Route 86 from November this year, the wait will soon be over.

Wouldn't be so sure. Both the E-class trams I spotted had people on them and were displaying 86A on the destination.
Thanks,
