Fly Ted Down Under Journeys through the land of Oz

Marvelous Melbourne

One of the classic “W-class” trams on its only regular route, running from north Richmond to St. Kilda, a relatively quieter route that suits the W's top speed: 40 km/h. These guys are constantly under threat of being taken out of service, and there are only about 50 of them left out of a fleet of 500 trams. But they have their fans, who have managed to block them being mothballed completely.
