A2 class 273 is seen in the new livery back in April 2010 on the traditional stomping ground of the A trams - the 112 to St Kilda.
 
An unusual sight in May 2017 was class A tram 253 on the 96 to St Kilda Beach, then the preserve of the new E class. When new the A class used to work the 96. The tram is outside the Prince of Wales on Fitzroy Street.

Car 253 is seen on a conventional working in February 2016 at the Chapel Street/Dandenong Road junction in Windsor illustrating the long standing poor scheduling of routes 5 and 64.
 
Back in November 2012 253 is on the 78 at the north end of Chapel Street at a time when the route was still operated by Class W trams.
