It was good to see Prince's Bridge station again. In the late 1950s, as a nearly broke student, I could get a 3-course meal for 4/6, 45 cents in decimals. I sat beside the windows looking over the street to Flinders Street station and the crowds heading home. And then, in 1967, stnding on the raised plaza beside the Gas and Fuel towers, watching the arrival of Prince Charles, President Johnson, and other dignitaries arriving at St Paul's Cathedral for the memorial service for the lost Prime Minister Harold Holt.
You forgot to mention Batman Avenue / #70 tram that went along the river and was removed with Fed Sq development. I really enjoy the space at Fed Sq. It gave Melb a focal point which it didn't have.
