Glory be to the trams that still have openable windows

Photo of a C1 class tram passing a G Class Tram only sign showing a 15 kilometres per hour speed limit on Victoria Bridge

G class-only speed restriction sign spotted at the west end of Victoria Bridge in Richmond.

I'm guessing this is for trams heading to Kew Depot further down the road for testing, as they are probably heavier than any current tram that regularly uses this heritage […]

Photo of an overhead traffic signal showing a red T next to a small second signal with the number 8

Countdown timer for a traffic signal but for trams!

These are uncommon but not unheard of in Melbourne for pedestrian crossings. But this is the first I've seen for tram drivers.

It makes a lot of sense here because it's for southbound trams at the very busy […]

The Transport Victoria website has been updated and now includes an "AI Chatbot" of questionable utility.

Can't answer very basic questions and doesn't seem to add much value to the website. I would rather they focus their effort on fixing the many errors and […]

Photo of new tram tracks at intersection of Elizabeth St and Victoria Street

Photo of new Queen Victoria Market tram stop on Elizabeth Street

Photo of narrow platforms at new tram stop on Victoria Street

Tram works on Victoria Street and Elizabeth Street are almost done.

The new tram stop on Victoria Street looks far too narrow and small to accommodate the high number of people likely to use it. It's also far from Peel Street which drastically increases the […]

B class tram map looking a little worse for wear. I'm guessing the heat earlier this month has melted the glue and caused this issue.

Night trams of Melbourne.

Melbourne, 2013

A proper tram city if there was one.

photo of an unsheltered tram stop in the middle of Bridge Road in Richmond on a hot and sunny day

A day like today where it is somehow both 36 degrees air temperature and raining makes these old, unsheltered and inaccessible tram stops in the middle of a wide road pretty unbearable to use

Tram bustitution on the route 78 is still in place following the building fire further south on Chapel Street on Thursday last week
