Flinders Street Railway Station Melbourne Victoria Australia
The city of Melbourne, the second-largest city in Australia first had trams introduced in 1885 and is now home to the largest tram network in the world,[1] consisting of 245 kilometres (152 miles) of track, 500 trams[2], 28 routes, and 1,813 tram stops [3]. The trams are powered using 600V DC delivered via overhead wires and run on standard gauge track. Currently operated by a private company, Yarra Trams under contract from the Victorian Government, the owner of the network. Melbourne's trams contribute greatly to the city's distinctive character and are held in great affection by the people of Melbourne. In 2007, a total of million passenger trips were recorded on Melbourne’s trams.[4]
