17.01.2022 Keeping #Melbourne's #trams running - the truck shop at Preston Workshops, 1946, Image from our collection.

15.01.2022 Everyone likes a nice round number. SW6 class #tram No 1000 somewhere and somewhen in #Melbourne. There are plenty of clues to help you along. Image from our collection.

15.01.2022 A busy pre-WW2 view of Bourke Street #Melbourne, complete with cable #tram. Soon, we will see our city filled with people again, just like in this photo. Stay safe, wear a mask, and let us show the world what Victorians can do!... Image from our collection.

13.01.2022 1941 version of a #Melbourne #tram superstop in St Kilda Rd. The intending passenger is waiting for his outbound tram while a W2 class on a number 15 to Moreland is trundling into the city. Who remembers these tram shelters?... Image from our collection.

13.01.2022 Spencer St terminus of the Bourke St cable tramway circa 1925, with the tramways' head office at 673 Bourke St behind (still there - but now called Donkey Wheel House). A 1913 guide book reckoned "#Melbourne's #tram system was the most complete in the world." Image from our collection.

11.01.2022 In #Melbourne, we celebrate big events with fireworks - as the fourpenny #tram tells us. But can you tell us exactly where L class No 102 and W2 class No 481 are, and why? Even better, when? Image from our collection.

11.01.2022 Two blokes in white overalls doing something mysterious to #tram tracks in #Melbourne. And what's the deal with the hammer? Any ideas? Image from our collection.

11.01.2022 The magic behind #Melbourne's cable #tram system - the grip. Image from our collection

10.01.2022 Removing cable #tram tracks in Swanston St for conversion to electric trams - a big change for #Melbourne transport. Just to the left of this pic, @metrotunnelvic is now building the new Town Hall railway station - another big change. Image from our collection.

10.01.2022 #Melbourne #trams travel in packs. W7 class #tram No 1025 leads a pack of outward-bound trams in Collins St. But when? Image from our collection.

10.01.2022 Obviously, it isn't a #Melbourne #tram - but it is a tram breakdown truck from 1941. What's the story behind it? To us it looks like it was built on the chassis of a half-cab bus Image from our collection.

09.01.2022 When changing the trolley pole, spilling your uniform cap onto the road when you looked up was an occupational hazard. This #Melbourne #tram driver has learnt by experience. Image from our collection.

08.01.2022 Looking for a gift for the tram enthusiast in your life? Or do you just love trams? Our shop will be opening from 10am to noon on 28 November, 5 December and 12 December 2020. Don’t miss our gingerbread Xmas tram biscuits! For more info: http://hawthorntramdepot.org.au/news/20201115.htm

03.01.2022 Different times. #Melbourne SW6 class #tram No 915 decorated for the 50th anniversary of Federation. Image from our collection by Keith Kings.

02.01.2022 No puzzle at all with this #Melbourne #tramways drawing from 1932. Image from our collection.
