At #YarraTrams we’re not concerned at all by the Royal Commission into the Big Build. That’s because since we took over the network, we’ve prided ourselves on not building any infrastructure improvements to the tram system at all.

Tram Cops today are targeting anyone who has set their ringtone to the AusAlert sound. In the world there is evil, pure evil, and way beyond both of those are you.
You won’t be fined, but you will have your phone crushed by every tram in the #YarraTrams fleet, just to be sure.

The national test emergency alert is being sent to all mobile phones today at 2pm. The #YarraTrams Lost and Found department is not looking forward to being woken up at 2pm by hundreds of phones all dinging at once, so stop leaving your phone behind on trams you drongos!

Extra Footy Trams tonight for the Demons v Cats at the MCG. The trams are only available for Melbourne fans, due to Geelong getting rid of trams in 1956. If you country bumpkins want to ride on trams, get on your tractor and take it back to 70 years ago. #YarraTrams

Throwback Thursday: Y.469 out the front of Hawthorn Depot, in the early 1980’s undertaking driver training duties.
These days the training centre has been closed, just like how many of the schools across Victoria are closed today, due to a teacher’s strike. #YarraTrams

Yesterday we had ill passengers and unruly passengers. The day before, same thing. We’re guessing today will also be rinse and repeat.
The question is, why are we getting so many of these Metro Trains passengers lately? Who told them about our fine network? #YarraTrams

Tram Cops today are targeting anyone who is Moonwalking on a tram. We know you want to celebrate Armstrong’s achievements on this day in 1969, but it’s really annoying when you keep saying “Hee-Hee!”
You won’t be fined, but you will be made to eat a wheel of cheese. #YarraTrams

Free travel today on trams originating from Essendon depot, after the Bombers had a win on the weekend. Good thing for us the depot is actually located in Travencore, so no free travel. We know this is disappointing, but it’s just like how Essendon are in the finals. #YarraTrams

Just catching up on this World Cup thing. We don’t know too much about it, but it looks like North Melbourne are up against Adelaide, who for some reason are wearing terrible looking alternative guernsey. We’re just thankful we didn’t have to put on any extra trams. #YarraTrams

The AFL have once again decided they don’t need Extra Footy Trams tonight, so instead we’re doing Extra Theatre Trams to various live stage performances happening all around Melbourne. Time for us to support where the real dramatic action is, and it’s not the footy. #YarraTrams

Throwback Thursday: 1965, W2.495 heading inbound on Rt.70, gunning up to jump over the Riversdale Rd tram/train level crossing, to keep on time after being delayed by a train. The tram cleared the jump and remained in service until 1979. #YarraTrams

#YarraTrams has received complaints from tourists that they don’t enjoy the experience of being on a tram, finding them very crowded, and confusing. So here’s three solutions for you:
1. Don’t catch a tram.
2. Melbourne has buses.
3. Go home.

Simple solutions, for simple people.

Tram Cops today are targeting anyone who is catching a tram because their car is being serviced. We figure you’re already stressed, probably running late, and repairs are going to cost a fortune. So why not do our bit to keep you off our turf the next time it happens. #YarraTrams

You may have noticed the G class trams out and about testing, and wondered why you can’t ride on one yet. Unfortunately we have discovered a major flaw in the design; Unlike all the other low floor trams, the G’s like to stay on the rails, and that’s just not the #YarraTrams way.

Something called a rally is currently delaying trams in the city. Anyone know what a rally is? We’ve never heard this word before. Is it like a cheesecake? We like cheesecake. Can someone get us some cheesecake please? #YarraTrams

Extra Footy Trams tonight to the MCG, picking up Collingwood fans, to take them to Docklands where your team is actually playing.
It’s a big favour we’re doing you, so don’t steal the hubcaps off the trams for a change. Oh and return our DVD player while you’re at it. #YarraTrams

Throwback Thursday: December 2013, 3537 seen departing the Domain Interchange and crossing the Park St tracks, advertising Telstra. These days the Park St tracks are useless, just like the Telstra network. #YarraTrams

Tram Cops today are annoyed, because they slept in and thought today was Tuesday, and now they have missed out on 2 for 1 at their favourite doughnut shop. Expect heavy fines, unless you bribe them with something hot and jam in a paper bag. Wink wink. #YarraTrams

The Office of the National Rail Safety Regulator has suspended the accreditation of Southern Shorthaul Railroad.
We hope they take a long hard look at their operations, at least 2-3 years. That will stop ONRSR from looking too closely at our operations for a bit. #YarraTrams

Testing of the G class tram continues, to make sure it is safe, reliable, of outstanding quality, passenger focused and fit for service, at the highest of world standards.
Passengers should be grateful we are doing this, because there is a first time for everything. #YarraTrams

Throwback Thursday: 1960 and the construction of the Flinders St overpass over King St shows W2.397 using temporary tracks, to ensure tram services were not interrupted.
In 2005 the overpass was removed, with tram services suspended during the works. That’s progress. #YarraTrams

Extra Trams all weekend to get you to the bars and clubs around town. With it being the last weekend of the financial year it’s time to spend those petty cash credits, or you’ll lose them next year. Just shout us every round as a thank you. #YarraTrams

Rockstar have announced that Grand Theft Auto VI will be released 19 November 2026.
The challenge is now on, with the G class tram entering service in July, will one be hit by a taxi before GTA6 launches? #YarraTrams

Throwback Thursday: Oct 20, 1991. During the PTC Open Day we experimented with running a reduced tram service, using tram No.2, which had been left this way after being washed in hot water. It wasn’t a success, particularly with taller passengers, so was scrapped. #YarraTrams

We’re extending Rt.59 to the airport, and it will all be done by this afternoon!
It was either that or drive our mother-in-law to Tullamarine, and after having her visit for the last month, we’ve taken the easier option. #YarraTrams

Tram Cops today are targeting anyone using ticketless travel on a tram. Sure you can use your phone or bank card to touch on, but old habits die hard, so if you’re not also carrying a valid Myki, you’re done. #YarraTrams

The Winter Solstice happened on the weekend, meaning days are now longer. As a result trams will now take longer to reach their destination. Please adjust your travel times accordingly.
Nothing we can do to go quicker, it’s just how science works. #YarraTrams

Extra Footy Trams aren’t needed until Saturday night, but we’re so use to doing them on a Friday, we’re doing them anyway.
On the bright side you’ll be at the MCG extra early, to be able to drape your scarf over a seat to reserve it. You’re welcome. #YarraTrams

Lincraft have announced that after more than 80 years of operations, they are closing their physical stores, while keeping their online business operating. Here at #YarraTrams we think this is a great idea, and after over 140 years of trams in Melbourne, we’ll now go online only.

Throwback Thursday: 1943 a Conductress punches the key in the Bundy clock to show the tram is on time.
This was the responsibility of the Driver, but he was probably busy with other duties, like complaining to other men about how women are slack and ruining the job. #YarraTrams
