Don't miss the Sydney Tramway Museum's biggest day of the year.
There'll be trams out of their usual repose in the Display Hall, taking you for rides.
It will be a great show, our biggest of the year, commemorating (not exactly celebrating) the last day on which classic trams ran in Sydney 51 years ago.

We take great pride in the condition of our trams and you will see are some recently repainted trams and there's a completely restored model.

One of them will be a hundred years old this year. It was the most often seen model, an 80 seater footboard model plying on almost every line until the late fifties. 626 of them were built, they were seen as so successful. Pictured is number 1111 which enjoyed a history of running to Narrabeen, then on the North Shore running over the Bridge through tramway tunnels to underground platforms at Wynyard and, when that system closed, to the Western suburbs and finally to Bondi and Bronte beaches.

There's a corridor car, number 1979, just outshoppped a few months ago. This was the most popular of Sydney trams, sadly it was the final model. Sporting plush leather seats when first introduced, it set new standards of comfort. In the last year or so of trams to Maroubra and La Perouse, this was the only style of tram remaining.

Our most recently restored tram (in Bendigo) after being privately preseerved by a Sydney family, is a half length footboard tram, designed expressly for the steeply hilled Watsons Bay line. This style disappeared after the corridor models took over the line in 1933 so it remains in its early colour scheme. Remarkably, it seats fifty.

These three models pictured are just a small sample of the many trams we'll have out and running. There'll even be some earlier models taking you for rides

Don't miss this, our biggest day of the year.
