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

Tram Cops today are catching up on their quotas after the two months of free travel, having to hold doughnuts in both hands, just to eat through their stockpile.
Passengers are reminded to not take advantage and tickle them, because it makes them do a little pee. #YarraTrams

#YarraTrams would like to remind all passengers, that when using a mobile phone on a tram, make sure it is on speaker, and the volume turned all the way up. We all need to hear both sides of the discussion about your weekend and how dead end your job is, but you like payday.

Extra Footy Trams this weekend for the big Canada vs Bosnia and Herzegovina clash at the Toronto Stadium.

Hang on, we think we looked up the wrong footy fixture. Yep, our bad, this is for some little league local footy comp. No extra trams until we work this out. #YarraTrams

Throwback Thursday: c.1950’s showing the corner of Swanston & Collins Sts looking south.
We really like the markings showing pedestrians to keep left, marked on the ground so it’s easier to see when watching videos on your phone. #YarraTrams

Police are conducting training in Newport today, by exploding old trams with things go boom and leave lots of damage.
Our request for them to do this training on Rt. 82 instead, where we could both benefit by the removal of trams and locals was unfortunately rejected. #YarraTrams

Big 4 Yarra Valley have a couple of trams onsite for accommodation. To ensure they meet the #YarraTrams network standards, the trams are not recommended for people with limited mobility given the number of steps and access to accommodation.

Yesterday we had yet another moron car driver who thought he was a tram. Unless you’re prepared to carry the kind of lowlife scumbags we do, then stay off the tracks. We don’t come into your workplace and stand around the water-cooler talking about mundane stuff. #YarraTrams

Throwback Thursday: With winter here, here’s a chilly SW6 number 965 on its first test run in the snow at the Danish Tramway Museum, February 2006. Or as the Danish would say “Så kold at din gong vil knække af.” #YarraTrams

If half priced fares, why we no get to run half services?
It’s so unfair that we’re meant to provide according to an agreement that clearly isn’t in our favour. We demand double the pay, and for that to double when fares increase in 2027. #YarraTrams

Tram Cops are back in action, after a couple of months of Government endorsed fare evasion.
Because fares are now half price, they’ll be fining twice as many to make up the difference, or just fining you twice if you’re a Eshay, even with a valid Myki. #YarraTrams

#YarraTrams handy travel tip. Set the date on your phone back one month, and then you still get free travel. Just say it’s daylight month savings time, no one will know the difference.

The AFL are having 5 weeks of bye rounds, so we’re also saying bye-bye and not running any Extra Footy Trams. If they can’t be bothered putting in a full effort, why should we?* #YarraTrams

*Yes we do do a full effort, trying hard everyday. It’s why we’re known as try hards.
