Oh you beauty! Sydney Tramway Museum has its trams running ALL THE WAY from Sutherland Terminus to the Royal National Park! Gives me extra incentive to get down there! Hopefully this month! YIPPPEEEEE!!!!!

It's indeed so nice to travel the entire route. I have been to Loftus before back in 2017, but I don't think they already had the extension to Sutherland.
@neilforbes4165 жыл бұрын
@@railfanworld But is it the entire route? I rode it on my last visit and on the outward run towards Sutherland, the tram ran only a short distance past the military base entrance, about the same distance as you showed from the starting point of your video to the gates of the military base. I thought the tram tracks ran much further than that.

@@railfanworld The first couple of times I visited, the trams would only go as far as the gates of the military base. On my last visit, they went just a bit further, to the point where your video starts, still not all the way to the Sutherland terminus.

Come to think of it, the tram did not start at Sutherland terminus, rather, just beyond the military base. My last video there, I shot the run out to the military base and just beyond, then back to the museum/depot then out to the Royal National Park and return. They were running the Brisbane "Phoenix" tram #548 and W2-class tram #249 on the day I was last there. #249 was painted up as if it had been a Canberra tram, but in that day, Canberra did not have trams. It's only recently that Canberra did acquire a tramway system, as shown in one of your last videos.

On arriving at Loftus railway station(platform closest to museum) you walk off the platform and down to your left(tapping off with your Opal card as you go) which brings you to Pitt Street. Follow the street as it slopes down to the corner where it meets the Old Princes Highway(Rawson Avenue). Turn to your right and there are the gates of the Museum, right in front of you.

@@youtubeviewer7030 As you get closer to Pitt Street, Loftus after alighting the train, there is a sign just inside the fence that shows this campus of the Department of Technical & Further Education to be also known as the "Sydney Institute". I'm going on what I saw with my own eyes(not someone else's LOL). That's where that Gerard Henderson spends a lot of his time, or should I say, wastes a lot of their time! He's on ABC's "Insiders" every now and then. usually on the same couch as David Marr, former host of ABC's "Media Watch". Whatever the subject, David Marr always has the better of the argument over Gerard Henderson.
