For nearly a year now, I have been slowly building a series of interactive maps on a Google platform on behalf of the Tramway Museum, St Kilda for their website detailing the former tramway network.
As well as detailing the history of every line, siding and depot (with the exception of the Flinders Street Loop at the moment), every single tram stop has also been listed and where possible, illustrated with photos from the Museum’s archive. Information on each tram stop and the facilities provided at every location has mostly been taken from the General Manager’s own 1953 copy of the ‘Tramway Street Directory and Field Guide’ (also from the Museum archives) with additional information from 1951 and 1916 editions.
