Finally completed tagging stops along route 75 which is the longest route I have done so far. Hopefully it get easier as stops begin doubling up and major tram corridors are completed.

I’m consistently surprised at the comparatively low quality of data around tram stops in Melbourne’s CBD. One of the main stops in Melbourne, at Flinders/Swanston Streets, wasn’t tagged at all. Another problem was somebody had incorrectly tagged a stretch of seemingly random stops in Hawthorn East as wheelchair accessible when in fact that are not.

Route 70 is next in line to have its stops tagged. This is a particularly special route for Melbourne’s tram network as it passes by Wattle Park where the Melbourne Tramways Band has performed for over a century. This route was also significantly altered in the late 1990s with the completion of the Exhibition Street Extension and its subsequent re-routing around Swan Street. It also serves Melbourne and Olympic Park patrons, perhaps most notably the Australian Open where route 70a trams shuttle between Spencer Street and the event.
