Last Tram Over The Old Tramway Triangle

Sunday the 21st of July saw Melbourne tram W7 1017 have the honour of being the last tram to travel over the old tramway triangle before our tramway shutdown on Monday the 22nd of July. A new tramway triangle is being constructed as part of the Whiteman Park Tramway Extension Project, which will see trams run to the new METRONET Whiteman Park railway station.

I’ll be catching the train from my new local station (Yanchep!) to Whiteman Park, just for the tram! I’m ridiculously excited!!

Was not aware that Perth had trams some time ago

[@PerthElectricTramwaySociety]

Yep from 1899 to 1958. Fremantle, Kalgoorlie and Leonora also had electric tramways

Why is a Melbourne tram in Perth

[@PerthElectricTramwaySociety]

We have a number of Melbourne W class trams which we preserve and operate at Whiteman Park.

[@MartintheTinman]

There's a W7 at The Tramway Museum St Kilda South Australia too. It's good that other places have them

[@jimpikoulis6726]

Stealing our trams 🚊 are we!!

[@PerthElectricTramwaySociety]

We prefer to think of it as preserving those trams
