The Colonial Tramcar Restaurant was a great tourist attraction and also well-patronised for birthdays and anniversaries by locals such as my wife and me, and by work groups for their Christmas get-togethers. Such a shame that a solution to the “safety concerns” (whatever those were) could not be found. Methinks Yarra Trams didn’t try very hard – many of these so-called “safety concerns” today are concocted, and the rest can usually be solved by a little commonsense.

A couple minor typos Marcus, you’ve doubled up “August” in the Anglesea Power Station shutdown date and I believe you meant to say the VLine trains at South Kensington were accessing the new VLine tracks rather than the new VLine trains

Great post as usual, and Happy New Years!

That South Yarra tram stop was a peak hour nightmare before they built the level boarding stop. Hundreds of people crowding onto the road, at school times especially.
