Yarra Trams’ Brunswick Depot has reopened after a major revamp.
The depot, which has been operating since 1936, has been upgraded to deliver more tram stabling capacity, modernise site facilities to make way for more staff and bigger trams, and improve safety and accessibility.
Upgrades include:
- a new, larger carpark under the elevated rail line for additional depot staff and a new tram substation to replace the old one
- upgrades and extension of the Brunswick Tram Depot administration and maintenance facilities to support an increased number of trams and staff
- additional tram stabling within the Brunswick Tram Depot and a new connection into Sydney Road to support Route 19 morning run-out
- additional tram sidings on Cameron Street for a new terminus
- a new accessible tram stop on Moreland Road to improve safety and accessibility.
The Brunswick team came together to celebrate moving back into their newly renovated depot building, after about a year of working from temporary facilities on site.
