That’s our brand-new G Class tram, now out on the network for testing! They're not taking passengers just yet, but we’re putting them through their paces to make sure they're ready to ride later this year.

It's #ThrowbackThursday! 100 years ago this week, the first service ran on the St Kilda to Brighton electric street tramway.
The service operated out of the Elwood tram depot, which was completely destroyed by fire in the early morning of March 7 1907 – along with all the trams.
Newport Workshops worked speedily to replace the lost rolling stock, and the service continued to operate until February 1959.

Free public transport across Victoria has been extended during May – no ticket or myki needed, just hop on and go.
This includes Melbourne trains, trams and buses, as well as regional trains, coaches and buses (including intertown and regional town services). Jump onboard.
