- Melbourne's trams are a wonderful symbol of the rich history and heritage that Melbourne and Victoria has. I was a driver from the end of 1967 to January 1977 Our tramway depot's been here since the early 1900's. There's a whole range of ways that we can customise the internals of a tram. I had no idea how much it would transform the lives of some really amazing students. I think the more people that connect with all of the extraordinary trams, the richer we're all going to be. There's so many great opportunities for people to share with us their ideas about how these trams can be repurposed and be reused.
