Melbourne now has the largest number of kilometres of tram routes worldwide, a title that was once held by St Petersburg i Russia. Hawthorn Tram Depot was closed in about 1965 but the state government's VicTrack kindly stores an historic collection of older trams there. One has to be very careful in choosing when to visit as open days are not on many days throughout the year. There is however a good website and I think Facebook page. Carolyn in the shop greeted us. Admission is suggested to be by way of a gold coin - minimum A$1 - donation. The shop was clean and had a good range of postcards, books and other items including large posters. The tram collection has favourites such as an L and W2 class (types on which I travelled to my Catholic school, loving every minute) and many others such as the 'toastrack' tram, former cable trams (the cable car network closed in 1940 and predated electric trams' introduction, earlier) and small 'single truck' tramcars. There was an excellent display of the famous Melbourne Art Trams. This was airconditioned. The trams are all beautifully restored. Let's hope one day there's teh green light for some to operate again. Some modifications to teh overhead may be required, and franchise owner Yarra Trams would have to agree, but it's not impossible. Well worth a visit!
